Are you asking how to set it up or just test it? If you already set it up,
how did you set it up?

To test use nslookup and query the record. Hit arrow UP and repeat the
query. Each result will be different.

Create 2 A records of entries with the same name: softricity, and Enable
Round Robin in DNS server properties.

C:\nslookup
>softricity

it returns the 2 records of IPs at the same time. When hit arrow UP and
repeat the query. Each result is the same - 2 IPs

Round Robin is enabled by default.

Do you mean my setup works? Why?

It's the way Microsoft DNS is designed and configured out of the box.
