I'd say upgrade them to 9.x before they're rooted.  :-)

You might want to ask on a BIND list, but I really don't think what
you want to do can be done.  I think you're stuck with each named
looking up any given address once on its own.

Generally speaking, resolvers aren't handled round-robin anyway, so
the first nameserver listed (either in resolv.conf or DHCP) is going
to get most of the traffic.
