Cricket has said "no"!

But the other aspect to the answer is "if you care you probably
made a design mistake!".

The only reason to care is with regard to performance/loading of
DNS server, since all three ought to give the same answers to
the same questions.

Even then if one server us overloaded the clients using it will
start reverting to any other available server that is working.

So I figure the only reason to ask this is that not all your
recursive servers have the same view of the DNS, and down this
route lies madness.
