Client pointing to multiple deployment servers?

[Jason]

I'm at a client where they are setting up a large multi-tiered Splunk environment, and want to use a pair of load-balanced search heads as deployment servers. (Of course, they will have to sync their deployment configurations manually.) Would the following work?

deploymentclient.conf

[deployment-client]

[target-broker:deploymentServer]
targetUri= splunk1.client:8089,splunk2.client:8089

According to gkanapathy, it is not possible. You need to use DNS round-robin or a load-balancer.
