I'd need to know your topology before I could say. If all 11 machines
are available to the public in a 11 A record DNS RR style setup, then
doing RR load balancing in backhand doesn't give you anything.

If you have a few machine accessible as front-end machines and some as
back-end machines, then it makes a little more sense... But I am still
curious as to why you would want to use something like round robin.
