Guidelines and recommendations for using this feature

We recommend that you observe the following guidelines when using this feature:

The GSLB controller and ServerIron ADX Side functionality (remote or local) should not be configured on the same ServerIron ADX.

Domain IPs should be VIPs rather than real IP hosts to minimize the health-check load on the GSLB controller.

Anytime a site ServerIron ADX state is changed from optimized to non-optimized (or vise versa) you must reload the controller.

If the GSLB optimization feature is enabled on the GSLB controller, then it is recommended to not enable SLB for other services (enabling other services can cause resource problems).

The GSLB controller will support maximum of 2048 GSLB enabled VIPs from all site ServerIrons. You must ensure that maximum number of GSLB enabled VIPs received from all sites does not exceed 2048.

To reduce the CPU usage, especially when there are many zones and GSLB enabled VIPs configured, the GSLB optimization features should be enabled on both the GSLB controller and GSLB site ServerIron ADXs as described in “Increased VIP support per site and reduced CPU usage on GSLB controller” on page 162

When a Site ServerIron ADX has more than 256 SLB VIPs the controller health-status interval should be set to 5 seconds (default value) or longer.
