Load balancing configuration examples

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: Load Balancing Sample Architecture 1

Sample architecture 1 shows two GAS: G1 and G2
  • 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: Load Balancing Sample Architecture 2

Sample architecture 2 shows two GAS: G1 with a URL of /GAS1, G2 with a URL of /GAS2
  • 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.
