Need help with altcoin DNS SEED config- only returning a single IP

I'm trying to get DNS seeds setup properly for Syscoin. We've got the NS and A records all setup properly and a fork for sipa-seeder running but for some reason its only returning 1 ip when queried rather than a list like I see on the bitcoin/litecoin DNS seeds. I'm don't have a wealth of experience with the seeder software so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Here are the changes made to the running sipa-seeder to support Syscoin: https://github.com/syscoin/syscoin-seeder/commit/040ffc1d7a74d65b60451104eb50be9bebaa1129

If you nslookup seed1.syscoin.org or seed2.syscoin.org you can see it returns a single IP which is being served by the sipa-seeder software I just don't know why its not returning more than one:

Code:
nslookup seed1.syscoin.org
Server: 172.31.0.2
Address: 172.31.0.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: seed1.syscoin.org
Address: 13.209.29.80

compared to something like dnsseed.litcointools.com:

Code:
nslookup dnsseed.litecointools.com
Server: 172.31.0.2
Address: 172.31.0.2#53
