We have our object storage endpoint fqdn DNS round robining to 2 IP's. Those 2 IP's are managed by keepalived across 3 servers running haproxy where each haproxy instance is listening on each round robin'd IP and then load balanced to 5 servers running radosgw.

That begs the question of how to "load balance" these servers. I don't believe that we need true load balancing (i.e. through a dedicated proxy), and I'd rather not add the complexity and single point of failure. > > > > The question then is: Does RadosGW play nice with round-robin DNS? The real question here is whether RadosGW maintains internal client state locally between connections.
