Is it possible to set the sticky bit option for the DNS interface to always return the same node based on the client request?

Research direction

Start by reviewing Consul's DNS interface and how client requests are interpreted. Clarify what “sticky bit” means for DNS responses and how the same node should be selected; the issue is done only when the expected behavior and acceptance criteria are defined and implemented.
