COREDNS-LOADBALANCE(7)		CoreDNS	Plugins		COREDNS-LOADBALANCE(7)

NAME
       loadbalance - randomizes	the order of A,	AAAA and MX records.

DESCRIPTION
       The  loadbalance	will act as a round-robin DNS load balancer by random-
       izing 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 of	this setup. It will take care to sort any  CNAMEs  be-
       fore  any  address  records, because some stub resolver implementations
       (like glibc) are	particular about that.

SYNTAX
	      loadbalance [POLICY]

       •   POLICY is  how  to  balance.	 The  default,	and  only  option,  is
	   "round_robin".

EXAMPLES
       Load balance replies coming back	from Google Public DNS:

	      .	{
		  loadbalance round_robin
		  forward . 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
	      }
