using GSS to LB

[helsayed78]

Guys,

I have several questions on the GSS and would like your help on it.

Scenario:

I have 5 sites (A ,B , C , D, E).

1-Site A has a GSS Installed and would like to load balance between two severs located in site B , is that possible?

2- If I have two servers on in site A and B is it possible to load balance between them using the GSS located in site A?

3- Two servers one located in site B and one in site C, is it possible to load balance between them?

Hi

GSS is kind of smart DNS server, so basically it doesn't matter where it's located. Thus for all three questions answer is Yes. But it will look like that :

Client sent a DNS query what is the IP address of www.yourdomain.com, it will arrive to CSS and then CSS will reply with IP of server A or B or C depends on configuration/loadbalancing method/health status/Geo IP/group configuration/etc.
