Searching across 2 nodes on 2 different servers

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Please pardon my ignorance in advance, I'm new to Elasticsearch.

I have set up a cluster across two servers. One server is master and data,
the other just data.

Let's call my first server 'server1', my other server 'server2' and my
index 'address'.

If i want to search my address index, I can use the following URL:

http://server1:9200/address/_search

This returns data fine.

I can also use:

http://server2:9200/address/_search

and this returns data fine, too.

My query is as follows - Is there URL which I can use where Elasticsearch
chooses which server to return data from automatically, instead of having
to manually specify either server1 or server2?

I will be drastically increasing the number of indexes shortly and I'd like
Elasticsearch to automate which node it selects depending on whether the
other is in use, etc.

Is this possible?

Many thanks,
Phil.

No, you need to hit an end point that points to a server and then ES handle
where to get the data.
You could setup a cname entry that round robins to each server, but that is
outside the scope of ES.
