### Server load balancing

You can configure the pool with a list of servers instead of a single server.

    MySQLPool pool = MySQLPool.pool(Arrays.asList(server1, server2, server3), options);

The pool uses a round-robin load balancing when a connection is created to select different servers.

Note | this provides load balancing when the connection is created and not when the connection is borrowed from the pool.

### Pool connection initialization

You can use the `connectHandler` to interact with a connection after it has been created and before it is inserted in the pool.

    pool.connectHandler(conn -> {
      conn.query(sql).execute().onSuccess(res -> {
        // Release the connection to the pool, ready to be used by the application
        conn.close();
      });
    });

Once you are done with the connection, you should simply close it to signal the pool to use it.
