Hi,
I am learning C* and its usage these days. I have a very simple, possibly n=
aive question about load balancing.

I know that C* can automatically balance the load itself by using tokens. B=
ut what about connecting my cluster to a system. For exp, if we have a clie=
nt or a set of clients (e.g. 12 client machines) accessing a 3-node C* clus=
ter. All three nodes are independent and talk with each other through gossi=
p. This means that we have three IP addresses to connect to a cluster.

What should be the best strategy for clients to access these IP addresses? =
Should we connect four clients each to only one node? OR all 12 clients sho=
uld see and connect all three nodes? Which strategy is better? Is there any=
 resources available on web for this kind of issue?

Regards,
Basit
