connecting to hosts that resolve to multiple IP addresses

Hi, apologies if this has been answered already.

Does anyone know what Squid does when a request is made that resolves
to multiple IPs a.k.a round-robin DNS? (I'm using 2.5 stable 9).  For
example MS IE will take all the addresses returned from the resolver
and try each in turn until it makes a successful connection, and seems
to do this per-request e.g. if one host goes down it will use one of
the other IPs.

Does Squid behave in a similar way? Are there any configuration
options that affect this behaviour?

Also, does anyone have information about whether other HTTP proxies
handle round-robin DNS the same way?

Thanks
