# loadbalance
`loadbalance` acts as a round-robin DNS loadbalancer by randomizing the order of A and AAAA 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.
