==DNS Round Robin==

Please do not add DNS Round Robin as a load balancer. It has no knowledge of the "load" of each servers and gives a IP in the order it is listed. Further more, due to client side cache, if a server is down, the client will not be able to connect to it. I have mentioned this example: 100 web servers with "Hello World" HTML page and 5 clients connect everyday. On Mondayday 1, clients will connect to SRV1, SRV2, SRV3, SRV4, and SRV5. On day 20, SRV100 will be reach and during those 20 days, SRV1 will be completely idle with 0 connections. That is NOT load balancing or even failover.
