- samwho 3y agoYeah, it does! There are a few options, I’ll mention 2: 1. You can use DNS to return IP addresses to multiple load balancers. 2. You can have N load balancers that are themselves behind another, beefier load balancer. Plenty of other magical things that have been done to solve this problem, but I think those 2 are quite common and flow naturally from the ideas the post covers.
