Description

This is regarding the idea that the --join will resolve DNS which would consist of 3 records.

Suppose we have a DNS record like a Kubernetes service that points to 3 IP addresses. Will simply providing that single DNS record to --join result in CRDB resolving all IP addresses and using them for the seed servers?

Expectation :

Make the cockroach use all the IP addresses returned if there is more than one and the address doesn’t respond. This would help initialization in future versions.
