I have setup in Route 53 DNS two (equal) weighted records for domain, so that half of the traffic will go to each server, however, when I attempt to install LetsEncrypt SSL certificate through Forge, it fails because it hits the other server.
What suggestions for work around so that LetsEncrypt will verify on the same server on which I am installing the cert?
Usually you use a load balancer for that, which forge can set up, and install the cert on the load balancer, not the app servers. The load balancer is what communicates with the outside world. See this: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/forge/ssl-setup-in-forge-with-loadbalancer
