Chapter Global Server Load Balancing 1 Global Server Load Balancing overview Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) enables a ServerIron ADX to add intelligence to authoritative Domain Name System (DNS) servers by serving as a proxy to these servers and providing optimal IP addresses to the querying clients. As a DNS proxy, the GSLB ServerIron ADX evaluates the IP addresses in the DNS replies from the authoritative DNS server for which the ServerIron ADX is a proxy and places the “best” host ad

1 Global Server Load Balancing overview If the local DNS server does not have an address record for the requested server, the local DNS server makes a recursive query. When a request reaches an authoritative DNS server, that DNS server responds to this DNS query. The client’s local DNS server then sends the reply to the client. The client now can access the requested host. With the introduction of redundant servers, a domain name can reside at multiple sites, with different IP addresses. Wh

Global Server Load Balancing overview 1 • Session table statistics and CPU load information — The site ServerIron ADXs report this information to the GSLB ServerIron ADX at regular intervals. By default, each remote ServerIron ADX sends the status information to the GSLB ServerIron ADX every 30 seconds. You can change the update period for all the remote ServerIron ADXs by specifying a new period on the GSLB ServerIron ADX if needed. • RTT — Round Trip Time (RTT) is the amount of time that

1 Global Server Load Balancing overview servers that receive the records retain them in their databases for only 10 seconds. After the ten seconds expire, subsequent requests from the client initiate another query to the authoritative DNS server. As a result, the client always receives fresh information and the address of the site that is truly the best site for the client. NOTE You also can change the TTL if needed. However, Brocade recommends that you do not change the TTL to 0, because

Global Server Load Balancing overview 1 If the GSLB policy rejects all of the sites, the GSLB ServerIron ADX sends the DNS reply unchanged to the client. All of these metrics have default values but you can change the values if needed. In addition, you can disable individual metrics or reorder them. Refer to “Changing the GSLB policy metrics” on page 34. You also can configure the GSLB ServerIron ADX to directly respond to DNS queries instead of forwarding the queries to the authoritative DN

1 Global Server Load Balancing overview NOTE You cannot use the weighted IP metric if the weighted site metric is enabled. The GSLB ServerIron ADX uses relative percentages in order to achieve 100% total weight distribution. To configure weighted IP metrics, refer to “Implementing the weighted IP metric” on page 40. Weighted site metric You can configure the ServerIron ADX to distribute SLB traffic among GSLB sites based on weights configured for the sites. The weights determine the percentage
