[Novalug] DNS and rrorder

I am running bind 9.4.1 on my main name servers and have to so I can use
ordered entries. In my named.conf I have
rrset-order { class in type A name
"serverrrset.mydomain.com" order fixed; }
And then in the zone file I have two A records. The auth name server
always gives the same order for the two servers, it works great.
The problem is that none of the resolvers anywhere else pays attention
to this. They reorder the ips. So if I go against my other box running
9.2.4 (whats with CentOS 4.5) it gives the two servers in different
orders each time I look it up.
Is this the correct behavior? Or shouldnt the resolving host continue to
serve in the order the authoritative hosts gives them?
