Remove the calls to that function (or make it a NOP), or change the DNS
server to only hand out the IP address the client (i.e. Squid) should
use?

The round-robin sheduling of IP addresses was introduced as there are
more round-robin DNS servers than load-balancing, and without it a Squid
server would send all users to the same IP for the TTL of the DNS cache
entry.
