Using nscd, caching DNS or something like that?

no:  # ps aux | grep nscd
root      6738  0.0  0.0   1596   480 pts/0    R+   22:56   0:00 grep nscd

# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 129.69.1.28
nameserver 129.69.1.58

on this servers is isc bind running...

same effect at home (DSL), DNS-proxy on router, using "host" shows also IPs randomized.

Perhaps my fault, but I don't know where to look else.
Comment 3 Sascha Lucas 2006-08-19 14:37:49 UTC 
happens only on ~x86. using: $ telnet rsync.de.gentoo.org rsync

2 boxes at work (same subnet):
~x86 -> allways 128.176.191.21...
x86 -> as expected 

1 at home: 
~x86 -> allways 193.16.112.87... or 193.218.127.252...
    +vpn(to work): allways 128.176.191.21...

using ping rsync.de.gentoo.org works as expected.
