Understanding of HAProxy and LoadBalancing?

Hey

I got a windows server, running IIS and SQL. I want create a duplicate of that. And put a HAPproxy in front of them.

However, got a few problems understanding the whole concept. When creating duplicate servers, and I have several domains set up in ISS, with lets encrypt - that I should then do on both servers, so the two servers are an exact copy of each other, and then HAPproxy will just do all the loadbalancing, when I switch the IP in the DNS for my domains to the IP of the HAPproxy?

So HAProxy, dosnt do anything but redirect the traffic to the IP of the server1, or server2. No need to set up certificates for letsencrypt on the HAPproxy?

Thanks
