It is DNS’ job to resolve FQDNs to IPs. From IIS you specify what IP to use, from a pool of IPs assigned to your Web Server, with which site amongt many hosted on your Web Server.
Check if you have correct Canonical Name record (CNAME) entries in you AD for the desired IPs.
Also ensure that it’s replicated to all DNS servers if you have load balancing in AD.
