Help needed from all FreeBSD fans:

1. Is there anything out there that runs a round-robin DNS on FreeBSD?
eg. I'd like to run a DNS that gives out a series of IP addresses, one
after another, to a specific host name each time it is queried by a
client. I remembered I saw something like that but couldn't find it
again. Can someone point me to the right direction.

2. Has anyone used Seagate 4GB SCSI-2 drives with Adaptec 2940 on
FreeBSD? any problem with that? 
I'm going to need 12GB to carry a full feed of news, and don't want to
hang 6 x 2GB drives off a PC. 

3. Would you rather to have a fast PCI SCSI controller than a PCI
Ethernet card? Which option would give me better performance? if I
have only 1 PCI slot left? 

Thanks for any help in advance.
