# 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.
