# loadbalance
|
|
|
|
## Name
|
|
|
|
*loadbalance* - acts as a round-robin DNS loadbalancer by randomizing the order of A and AAAA records
|
|
in the answer.
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
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.
