Howdy Philip, This behavior varies from client to client. When a client doesn't support load balancing, many people have taken to using HAProxy or nginx to spread the load across an entire cluster. I believe OJ Reeves wrote an article long ago about this very subject. You can find it over at http://buffered.io/posts/webmachine-erlydtl-and-riak-part-2/
