dns_srv_lb is set to yes.

The solution of setting weight to 0 works because it disables loadbalancing. 
It appears that whenever the SRV records are queried by kamailio, at that 
point in time the a random result record is taken as destination for all 
request to that domain (didn't test any failover scenario) till next cache 
refresh. This idea is supported by disabling dns caching in kamailio, then the 
destination for requests is randomized and the same problem appears when 
setting weight to not 0.
