I have two droplets, a firewall and a load balancer.
I can access HTTP on droplets & load balancer address.
If I change the Firewall Inbound rule from HTTP TCP 80 All IPv4 All IPv6 To HTTP TCP 80 {IP of Load balancer]
The Load balancer health checks then report both Droplets down. Health checks are performed on http://0.0.0.0:80/
I get HTTP response: 503 Service Unavailable No server is available to handle this request.

Found the answer: add the name of the load balancer to the firewall rule rather than it’s public IP address
