Logical Servers

A Logical Server is a group of machines that provides the same services. The workload of this group is distributed between all its members.

When a Server group is stipulated in the Servers group field, the client is bound to this physical server.

There are two modes of operation:

  • Persistency by Service - Once a client is connected to a physical server for a specified service, subsequent connection to the same Logical Server and the same service will be redirected to the same physical server for the duration of the session.

  • Persistency by Server - Once a client is connected to a physical server, subsequent connections to the same Logical Server (for any service) are redirected to the same physical server for the duration of the session.

Balance Method

The load balancing algorithm stipulates how the traffic is balanced between the servers. There are several types of balancing methods:
