Intel 7190 manual Create Host and Specify Balancing Method

impractical, so the solution is to make the 7190s authoritative for a zone within the mstd-ex.com domain, rather than for the entire domain. For this example the authoritative name server for the mstd- ex.com domain delegates authority of a new zone within its domain to the 7190. This zone is called geo.mstd-ex.com. The hostname www.mstd-ex.comis aliased to www.geo.mstd-ex.com. Anyone querying the mstd-ex.com name server for the address of www.mstd- ex.com is told to ask one of the 7190s for the address of www.geo.mstd-ex.com.

Step 4. Create Host and Specify Balancing Method.

When you create the hostname you can specify the balancing method to use in selecting which site services are referred. For this scenario, the balancing method eventually is Flash Response Mode. But for initial testing of the network and configuration it is often best to configure first with Weighted Round Robin mode. This allows for easy verification of the configuration because the query responses are deterministic. Once the initial configuration is verified the balancing method can be changed to the production method (Part 2 of this scenario).
