Hi,

I have noticed that when I run a query against the IP addresses of a google Domain the results differ compared to when I run it against the domain name.

But that seems to be impossible, because in the domain must resolve to one of those IP's. So the results, which I see for a query run against the domain name should be found on at least one of the datacenters, which I get from resolving the hostname.

For example resolving www.google.fi gives me two datacenters ie. two ips:

host www.google.fi
www.google.fi CNAME www.google.com
www.google.com CNAME www.l.google.com
www.l.google.com A 66.249.85.99
www.l.google.com A 66.249.85.104

If I run a query against www.google.fi I get different results, then when I rund the query against the two ip addresses. How can that be?
