We are using DNS name to access Cassandra pool. such as: cassandra.mydomain.com, it point to the server list of Cassandra Node , when client query the DNS name, it will result a random IP in the list to client. if some node was down, the DNS server can automatic remove it's IP from IP list. There was many Opensource or Hardware LB and work like this.
