Understanding Propagation of VIP Availability Information, page 53

RHI Overview

RHI allows the CSM to advertise the availability of a VIP address throughout the network. Multiple CSM devices with identical VIP addresses and services can exist throughout the network. One CSM can override the load-balancing services over the other devices if the services are no longer available on the other devices, or one CSM can provide the services because it is logically closer to the client systems than other server load-balancing devices.

Note RHI is restricted to intranets because the CSM advertises the VIP address as a host-route and most routers do not propagate the host-route information to the Internet.

To enable RHI, configure the CSM to do the following:

Probe real servers and identify available virtual servers and VIP addresses

Advertise accurate VIP address availability information to the MSFC whenever a change occurs
