Bind 9 answer limit question

This isn't really FreeBSD specific, but I'm running Bind on FreeBSD, so it
qualifies. ;)

Can you limit the number of responses bind will give for a round-robin A
record?

Microsoft DNS allows you to do this with a "AddressAnswerLimit" registry
change. The idea being you may have 16 ips in a round-robin, but in order to
keep the packet size w/in spec, you only want to return 8 of them.

Thanks!
Brent
