DESCRIPTION

Member

The ZyWALL checks each member interface’s loading in the order displayed here.

 

 

Monitor Interface

Select an interface to associate it with the DNS load balancing rule. This field also

 

displays whether the IP address is a static IP address (Static), dynamically assigned

 

(Dynamic) or obtained from a DHCP server (DHCP Client), as well as the IP address

 

and subnet mask.

 

 

Weight

This field is available if you selected Weighted Round Robin for the load balancing

 

algorithm.

 

Specify the weight of the member interface. An interface with a larger weight gets

 

more chances to transmit traffic than an interface with a smaller weight.

 

 

IP Address

 

 

 

Same as Monitor

Select this to send the IP address displayed in the Monitor Interface field to the

Interface

DNS query senders.

 

 

Custom

Select this and enter another IP address to send to the DNS query senders.
