Piotr Popieluch proposed the following answer:
Yup, you won't need a second layer of relays, c-relay can duplicate the
metrics and balance.

You are probably using consistent-hashing which is known to not balance
evenly. You could check FNV1a hashing which is better distributed
(you'll have to configure this in graphite-web as well and need a recent
version.

If you go with c-relay check the buffer size and increase it, default
value is very small.
