Do all browsers support DNS server multivalue answer?

The multivalue answer is when the DNS server for one domain returns several IP addresses at once.

Example:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
host.ru. 59 IN A 95.180.18.70
host.ru. 59 IN A 91.205.67.51

Do all browsers understand this response?

For the browser, everything looks as usual.
This aws feature is a mixture of round-robin and failover.
Example:
Let 5 IPs participate - if all are alive, then the browser is given randomly any of the five. If, for example, two addresses are dead, then they are also given randomly to any of the three remaining ones.

The client receives everything that is in the response, but which one the browser chooses is the will of the random house.

It is not the browser that parses the DNS response, but the OS DNS client.
