I have read just about everything on the net regarding this and want to want to get clarification. By default, when I install more than one AOS in an environment, they both automatically show up in the Cluster Configuration form in the Non Load balanced AOS instance group. At this point, if I put both of these AOS's in the client config files, clients will attempt to connect to the first one and if it is not available it tries to connect to the second. Here is what I am not sure about. At this point (no dedicated load balancer), when the client get's connected to whichever AOS is available in the list, does that AOS pass along load information to the client and direct it to connect to the lowest load AOS??? Or does this ONLY happen when you have a dedicated load balancer AOS installed?
