it's possible (jason hinted at this) that the servers in question are
not a homogeneous software set... and have different behaviour being
displayed because of that.

Also, just because you sent a packet to 4 different ip addresses
doesn't mean that they didn't end up on one or some of the same hosts
behind loadbalancers/ecmp/etc, right? (so it's not clear you are/can
test this properly from your vantage point)

cdns02 at all... over ipv4 at least, v6 works, thankfully I suppose)
