# loadbalance
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Name
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*loadbalance* - randomize the order of A, AAAA and MX records.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Description
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The *loadbalance* will act as a round-robin DNS loadbalancer by randomizing the order of A, AAAA,
 | 
						|
and MX records in the answer.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
See [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_DNS) about the pros and cons on this
 | 
						|
setup. It will take care to sort any CNAMEs before any address records, because some stub resolver
 | 
						|
implementations (like glibc) are particular about that.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
