But, what happens if the front-end is down? Load Balancing can fail when a Virtual Server or Vserver fails, or when the VIP is unable to handle excessive traffic. Protecting the LB setup against failure helps ensure ...
Load Balancing – RADIUS with Persistence
Today's complex networking environment often requires coordinating a high-volume, high-capacity load balancing configuration with robust authentication and authorization. Application users may connect to a VPN through mobile access points such as consumer-grade DSL or Cable connections, WiFi or even dial-up nodes. Those connections usually use dynamic IPs, which can change during the connection. If you configure RADIUS load balancing on the NetScaler appliance to support ...
