Explanation

Web servers are stateless and handle massive volumes of concurrent HTTP/HTTPS requests from many users simultaneously, making them ideal candidates for horizontal scaling behind a load balancer. A load balancer distributes incoming requests across multiple web server instances, improving availability and performance. DNS, DHCP, and file servers either have built-in redundancy mechanisms, low request volumes, or session-specific requirements that make them poor fits for traditional load balancing.
