Hi

>2. In the instructions, there is a line which says "enter the host name of

This is a Web* QDNS plug-in setting which version of it do you have?

>3. Which is better? dyamic or fixed load balancing. What are some of the

It depends on your servers and their power/abilities/bandwidth

'Dynamic' balances the load according to your servers ability to deal with it, faster machines will get more work to do

'Fixed' just sends equal amounts of traffic to each machine, a slow server could be overloaded while your faster one doesn't break into a sweat

>4. How do I test this to see that it is in fact working?

You should have a little app that came with the plug-in (I can't remember it's name) that will do this for you
