Well, it may be that c-ares finally works on windows (worth a nudge 
on https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/12416). Barring that, or until that 
happens, you have two options, both non-trivial and requiring playing with 
and building the c-core code:

- (HACK HACK HACK) Modify the logic around here 
<https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/b0bad8f3864dc9c8745736fe68efe513b2b84932/src/core/ext/filters/client_channel/client_channel.cc#L419>
 to 
enable gRPCLB based on any condition you like. This is evil and of course 
not officially supported :)
- Write custom name resolver for the C Core. Something we've been wanting 
to do for a while is expose a semi-public API to implement custom resolvers 
(still in the core, in C/C++) but haven't gotten around to doing it. Given 
that your needs revolve around DNS, you wouldn't have to start from 
scratch. Simply copy dns_resolver.cc, rename it and hack it up in any way 
you need, then enable it for you deployment (in the same way that the 
standard DNS resolver is registered. I/we can help you with this). While we 
don't have a public resolver API, the current one hasn't changed in quite a 
while, so having your needs encapsulated in your custom resolver would be 
the cleanest and more future-proof way of doing things.
