Round Robin for gRPC on kubernetes with headless service

I have a a 3 nodejs grpc server pods and a headless kubernetes service for the grpc service (returns all 3 pod ips with dns tested with getent hosts from within the pod). However all grpc client request always end up at a single server.

According to http://stackoverflow.com/a/39756233/2952128 (last paragraph) round robin per call should be possible Q1 2017. I am using grpc 1.1.2

I tried to give {"loadBalancingPolicy": "round-robin"} as options for new Client(address, credentials, options) and use dns:///service:port as address. If I understand documentation/code correctly this should be handed down to the c-core and use the newly implemented round robin channel creation.

Is this how round-robin load balancer is supposed to work now? Is it already released with grpc 1.1.2?
