…What do you mean?
You can create a main cluster which will point the request to the desired droplet (via private networking).
Read some articles about load balancing.
Do you want to operate a CDN in combination with your droplets (integrate it) or do you want to build a CDN with DigitalOcean?
If you need a CDN for a commercial website (production environment) then I recommend to buy the service. It’s not worth to build your own CDN from a financial point of view. Some CDNs deliver traffic for $0.04/GB or lower (e.g. KeyCDN)
It will take more than just a few droplets to create a solid CDN.
