I have an environment with multiple stacks. Let’s say:

Stack A: web app  
Stack B: load balancer only

If I also have multiple hosts (Let’s say 10). Currently on each host there is a load balancer container running per the load balancer settings.

I’m curious if in the DNS records of my domain, if I need to point to point to all 10 hosts, or if I can point to something like 3 to decrease a single point of failure. Right now I’m pointing to 10 of them which seems insane.

Note: I’m using 10 hosts because I need the processing power. Each host has 2-3 containers of the same type on it which the load balancer is pointing to.
