<p>I run a LoadBalance on aws and when I tried to get an external ip i got like this:</p>
<pre><code>a86a863a4bea9807-1478376474.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com
</code></pre>
<p>Is it possible to get a normal IP?</p>

<p>Yes you can get the IP, e.g. using <code>dig</code> or <code>drill</code> commands:</p>
<pre><code>drill a86a863a4bea9807-1478376474.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com
</code></pre>
<p>But the IP returned are <strong>not static IP</strong> addresses. If you require to have static IP addresses for your load balancer, you should use either Network Load Balancer, or add <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/latest/dg/about-accelerators.alb-accelerator.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">global accelerator</a> to Application Load Balancer.</p>
