Configuring a Globally-Distributed Network
3-DNS® Administrator Guide 6 - 1
Understanding a globally-distributed networkWhen you are familiar with your traffic patterns and are expanding into a
global marketplace, you can use the 3-DNS Controller to distribute requests
in an efficient and seamless manner using Topology load balancing. When
you use Topology load balancing, the 3-DNS Controller compares the
location information derived from the DNS query message to the topology
records in the topology statement. The system then distributes the request
according to the topology record that best matches the location information.
