we are thinking of placing a proxy in front of our elastic search cluster, this is not for load balancing as we all know this is handled mostly by elastic search but instead want to have a single hostname to account for all our elastic search nodes this will help clients applications point to one host name. Appreciate any suggestions to use a Proxy here and if so any particular HA Proxy that people are using with ElasticSearch
