The Load Balancer can then forward traffic to any resource or service attached to any of its Private Networks, thus allowing inter-Private-Networks load balancing. Scaleway's managed DNS also makes it possible to contact the Load Balancer over the Private Network without knowing its IP address (using `lb-name.pn-name`, which then resolves to its private IP address). |
