TABLE 22

GSLB policy information (Continued)

 

 

 

 

 

This field...

 

Displays...

 

 

 

DNS active-only

Indicates whether the GSLB ServerIron ADX removes IP addresses from the DNS

 

 

response if those addresses fail a health check. This field can have one of the

 

 

following values:

 

DISABLE: The ServerIron ADX does not remove the IP addresses from the DNS response.

ENABLE: The ServerIron ADX removes IP addresses that fail a health check from the DNS response.

DNS best-only

Indicates whether you have configured the ServerIron ADX to remove all IP

 

addresses except the “best” address from DNS replies. This field can have one

 

of the following values:

 

DISABLE: The ServerIron ADX does not remove all addresses except the

 

best one.

 

ENABLE: The ServerIron ADX removes all addresses except the best one.

 

NOTE: Even when this feature is enabled, if the GSLB policy does not result in

 

selection of a best address, the DNS reply can still contain more than

 

one address.

 

For more information, refer to “Configuring a best-only policy” on page 230.

 

 

DNS override

Indicates whether DNS override is enabled. DNS override replaces the

 

addresses in a DNS reply with the “best” address from a list of addresses you

 

configure. This field can have one of the following values:

 

DISABLE: The ServerIron ADX does not replace the addresses in DNS

 

replies with an address from a list you configure.

 

ENABLE: The ServerIron ADX replaces the addresses in DNS replies with

 

an address from a list you configure.

 

For more information about DNS override, refer to “Enabling DNS override” on

 

page 198.

 

 

Modify DNS response TTL

Indicates whether the GSLB ServerIron ADX modifies the TTL in the DNS records

 

in DNS responses before sending the responses to the client’s DNS server. This

 

field can have one of the following values:

 

DISABLE: The ServerIron ADX does not modify the TTLs.

 

ENABLE: The ServerIron ADX modifies the TTLs.

 

 

DNS TTL

Indicates the value (number of seconds) to which the GSLB ServerIron ADX

 

changes the TTL in each DNS record in the DNS responses before sending them

 

to the client’s DNS server.

 

NOTE: If the Modify DNS response TTL field contains “DISABLE”, the ServerIron

 

ADX does not change the TTLs, regardless of the value in this field.

 

 

DNS check interval

Indicates how frequently the GSLB ServerIron ADX refreshes its zone and host

 

information with DNS servers.

 

 

Remote ServerIron ADX status

Indicates how frequently the remote ServerIron ADXs send status updates to the

update period

GSLB ServerIron ADX through the GSLB protocol.

 

 

Session capacity threshold

Specifies how close to its maximum session capacity the site ServerIron ADX

 

(remote ServerIron ADX) can be and still be eligible as the best site for the

 

client. If a site ServerIron ADX exceeds the threshold, the site ServerIron ADX is

 

ineligible to be the best site.

 

 

Session capacity tolerance

Specifies the percentage by which the number of available sessions on the site

 

ServerIron ADX can differ from the number of available sessions on another site

 

ServerIron ADX and still be considered an equally good site.
