Figure 43: Load Balancing DNS Queries
To configure Alteon for DNS load balancing
1. Before you can configure DNS load balancing, ensure that Alteon is configured for basic SLB:
—
Assign an IP address to each of the real servers in the server pool.
—
Define an IP interface on Alteon.
—
Define each real server (DNS server address).
—
Assign servers to real server groups.
—
Define virtual servers and services.
—
Enable SLB.
—
Define server port and client port.
For information on how to configure your network for SLB, see
page 165
2. Enable DNS load balancing.
For servers 1 through 3, configure and enable a virtual server that supports only DNS load
balancing (default). Virtual Server 1 performs DNS SLB for regular DNS queries and serves
servers 1 through 3.
