Hi, in filebeat and logstash we can load balance by providing multiple hosts in the host parameter like so...

hosts: ["host1", "host2"]  
loadbalance: true

How do we make this work with service discovery systems like mesos-dns/consul/swarm, more specifically with mesos and dc/os?

I have logstash.marathon.l4lb.thisdcos.directory which loadbalances on itself, but from my understanding that would happen once per connection.

Any thoughts on this?
