We are looking install SolrCloud on Azure. We want it to be an internal service. For some applications that use SolrJ, we can use ZooKeeper. But for other applications that don't talk to Azure, we will need to go through a load balancer to distribute traffic among the Solr instances (VMs, IaaS).
The problem is that Azure as far as I am aware does not have a load balancer for internal services. Internal endpoints are not load balanced. This is obviously not a problem specific to Solr, but I was hoping that other people might have some good ideas for addressing this issue.
