How does openssh handle dns roundrobin? specifically with "-L" option.

If I have 10 clients each use "-L 8080:example.com:8080" and example.com
has two A records
1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 does half (roughly) of my clients use 1.1.1.1 and other
half use 2.2.2.2 when they try to connect to port 8080 on their local
system?

In case it matters
ssh -V
OpenSSH_7.2p2 Ubuntu-4ubuntu2.4, OpenSSL 1.0.2g  1 Mar 2016

Thanks & Regard
