Only if these nameservers do the Bad Thing and track responsiveness by server name rather than by server address. (I think a well-known DNS implementation does or used to do it this Bad way, which was part of the reason that it sometimes locked on to a server with an unreachable IPv6 address and a fast-responding IPv4 address - and of course it would always try the IPv6 address first )-: -- Simon.
