Miek Gieben faf83b00dd docs: rewrite using manpage style (#327)
This still needs cleanup, but this is a first pass the cleans some
cruft and documents our style (in middleware.md) and makes all the
docs match that style.

loadbalance

loadbalance acts as a round-robin DNS loadbalancer by randomizing the order of A and AAAA records in the answer. See Wikipedia 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.

Syntax

loadbalance [POLICY]
  • POLICY is how to balance, the default is "round_robin"

Examples

loadbalance round_robin
