First of all thanks for your reply. But what happens if I have for example
a hostname: test, which resolves to a randomized list of multiple ip's.
Such that when I do:
dig test
10.0.0.8
10.0.0.9
10.0.0.10
and a few moments later
dig test
10.0.0.10
10.0.0.8
10.0.0.9
Is it then still consistent on the ip's or is the consistency just on the
name "test" in this case?
>From the docs I read that it resolves the hostname and injects the ip's as
server when multiple ip's are returned. But it's not completely clear on
which the hash is acting.
I am asking this, because docker constantly returns a randomized fixed list
of ip's (for dns load balancing). But I always want to route a user,
targetting for some url, to the same container.
