When answering a question, Consul will use the complete list of
matching hosts, shuffle the list randomly, and then limit the number of
answers to `a_record_limit` (default: no limit). This limit does not apply to SRV records.
In environments where [RFC 3484 Section 6](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3484#section-6) Rule 9
is implemented and enforced (i.e. DNS answers are always sorted and
therefore never random), clients may need to set this value to `1` to
