GSLB zone configuration

When you manage GSLB zones, you specify the DNS zone name and the host information (applications) within each zone for which you want the GSLB ServerIron ADX product to provide GSLB. There are no defaults for zone parameters. As soon as you specify the hosts and applications, the GSLB ServerIron ADX product queries the DNS server (the one for which the GSLB ServerIron ADX product is a proxy) for the IP addresses associated with the hosts and begins sending health checks to the hosts.

Click the Zone Configuration tab on the GSLB dialog box to determine what zones have been configured for your system.

The Hosts list on the Zone Configuration dialog box shows the GSLB zones that have been defined and the Management application user who created the definition.
