not load balancing, but...

I'm running a pi-hole

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi-hole

which provides adblocking at the DNS level.

It assumes a network geometry which is OK for people who use external DNS 
servers. Although changing the network is simple from the logical point 
of view, finding the files to fix this wasn't easy. The use dns-masq and the 
config file is pages long and I had to figure out how dns-masq works.

I use the pi-hole has my primary DNS and it accesses the two local DNS servers 
that were here originally
