Hi, Would a GSLB (DNS load balancer) be an appropriate load balancer to put in front of the ECE proxies (or even data nodes in a normal cluster)? Also, does the Java transport client sniffing work with ECE? Thanks, Aaron ---

The transport client should work identically for ECE as EC - see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/security.html#security-transport](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/security.html#security-transport) We haven't tested a GSLB in front of ECE, in fact we don't even configure session affinity with the ELBs we use in EC. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't _work_ at least as well as no LB at all though Alex ---
