Even though DNS resolves 2 hosts, LWP attempts to
connect to the first in the list. It never tries another
once the connect times out.

When using other conventional browsers (Mozilla,IE) the
user experience is much different, those browsers
actually attempt a connect to other IP addresses in the
list.

In order to get the pages downloaded, I had to
force /etc/hosts file to resolve to the second IP. Not
cool.

>nslookup console.google.com

console.google.com canonical name =
support.google.com.
Name: support.google.com
Address: 216.239.53.128
Name: support.google.com
Address: 216.239.51.128
