Description

*Title*: Supporting load balancing for mulitple IPs of a FQDN in dynamic fwd proxy, Similar to strict DNS

*Description*:
Currently dynamic fwd proxy , dns resolution works similar to LOGICAL DNS, where the very first IP resolved from IP list of an FQDN is getting cached and used for communication.
In a load run case, its like though there are many end points available for a single FQDN, only the same IP will get used, which is not correct.
in our case the number of originators are 1-2 pods, but the serving end has more end points. If two originators are there means only two IP can get used .
