The client will be connecting to app.domain.com and through whatever skullduggery you are using to loadbalance, the tcpip connection will terminate on your backend server at some IP. This IP may be the same on all your backend machines or it may be different on each machine depending on how you're doing the loadbalancing. No matter how you do it, that IP must resolve on that backend server to app.domain.com.
