| You might try a service like EveryDNS.net or ZoneEdit.com - both are free, and work well. |

A round robin DNS pool is basically just a bunch of A records:
irc IN A 1.1.1.1
irc IN A 2.2.2.2
irc IN A 3.3.3.3
That would make the "irc" subdomain resolve to 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2, and 3.3.3.3 |

Or CNAME records (which is probably what you'd use).
irc.something.org IN CNAME irc.domain.org
irc.something.org IN CNAME irc.domain2.co.uk
irc.something.org IN CNAME irc.domain3.com
irc.something.org IN CNAME irc.domain4.net |

| CNAME is slower-you should A record to IP's whenever possible, or you have multiple lookups-one for the initial address, one for the address it points to. Slows DNS down if you get alot of them at once. Better to point to an IP. |

So how does this work?
If one user connects to the domain name, he will connect to 1.1.1.1, if a second user connects it will goto 2.2.2.2 etc till 3, then back to 1 again (so it increments every DNS request?)
Can someone explain a bit more how this works?
Cheers  |

Not quite, when a DNS record is requested, a random value is returned. It isn't sequential, it is random.
