Configuration examples depend on the tools available on the Web Server.
The following configuration examples are based on two sample architectures. The first architecture is configured as follows:
Figure 1. Load Balancing Sample Architecture 1
- Three machines.
- The load balancer machine contains all the tools to do the load balancing.
- Two machines each contain a GAS instance. Each GAS instance listens to the default HTTP port and are configured on the same virtual directory.
- The host names of the machines that contain the GAS instances are GAS1.corporate.com and GAS2.corporate.com.
The second architecture is configured as follows:
Figure 2. Load Balancing Sample Architecture 2
- It is the same configuration as Figure 1, but the load balancer server is configured on the gas virtual directory and the GAS instances are configured on distinct virtual directories.
