[clue] Webserver's purpose

[chris fedde]

DNS round robin does not require periodic updates.  It is a feature of
nearly all dns server implementations to return address sets in
different orderings.  Bind for example delivers good performance with
both round robin and random response order.

Load balancers over the wide area are either expensive or introduce
additional single points of failure.
Just my two cents.

Shake well before using
