Chaps need some advise on the DNS side of things for HCI implementation. When we set the hostname and in HCI the seach APP uses the hostname:8888 when we click on the Search APP . Now i can set the DNS entries for a 3 node cluster in roundrobin for the same hostname. This will redirect user search requests to each node in round-robin fashion. Are there are any other implementations where we have search engine deployed on more than 1 node.

Thanks for your time and advise

DNS is the domain/responsibilty of the host OS. The hostname used by HCI is for internal services, example when you switch consoles through mega menu. You could also use a load balancer to distribute search requests.
