OK, so I've added two entries with the name RoundRobinTS and the IP address
10.1.1.27 and 10.1.1.29. I've just pinged RoundRobinTS.mynet.local and it
keeps replying with 10.1.1.27. Is this due to the TTL? What's a good value
if I want to put 4 W2K terminal servers into a round robin?

Under mynet.local

That should contain A records for the machines in your particular domain.

Can verify that this worked by pinging the new hostname.mynet.local after
you enter it.

So...

I'm looking at the DNS MMC Snap in, where (briefly) would this go?

DNS
 -- DC
     -- Forward Lookup Zones
     |  -- .
     |  |  -- arpa
     |  |  |  -- in-addr
     |  |  |     -- 10
     |  |  -- local
     |  |  |  -- mynet
     |  -- mynet.local
     |     -- _msdcs
     |     |  -- dc
     |     |  |  -- _sites
     |     |  |  |  -- SITE1
     |     |  |  |  |  -- _tcp
     |     |  |  |  -- SITE2
     |     |  |  |     -- _tcp
     |     |  |  -- _tcp
     |     |  -- domains
     |     |  |  -- CLSID-number-in-full
     |     |  |     -- _tcp
     |     |  -- gc
     |     |  |  -- _sites
     |     |  |  |  -- SITE1
     |     |  |  |  |  -- _tcp
     |     |  |  |  -- SITE2
     |     |  |  |     -- _tcp
     |     |  |  -- _tcp
     |     |  -- pdc
     |     |     -- _tcp
     |     -- _sites
     |     |  -- SITE1
     |     |  |  -- _tcp
     |     |  -- SITE2
     |     |     -- _tcp
     |     -- _tcp
     |     -- _udp
     -- Reverse Lookup Zones
        -- 10.x.x.x Subnet
           -- 1
           |  -- 1
           |  -- 2

Does this remind anyone of the Tree command in DOS? :)

And hope that none of your servers go down because users will still be
redirected to down servers unless you manually change the DNS.

Multiple addresses for A records, pretty short TTLs, and a bit of optimism.
