Got a 6.8 cluster of currently only multiple data nodes, thinking of add new search&ingest clients and hence considering expanding the cluster with dedicated master nodes (3) and possible some ingest-only (ie. non data) nodes behind a IP load balancer like HAproxy/Nginx.

How would we best load balance search&ingest clients, so we just points them to a single virtual IP?
