Search Again: How does loadbalancing work? From: james Date: Thursday, March 8, 2001 Time: 8:53:10 am i've been trying to load balance a zone using 50-50 "preference" directed to two servers. using LB tester the DNS load balancing on domain.com appears to be functioning based on the www. preferences below: TTL: 300 Interval: 30 Hostlife: 60 host a: 50 host b: 50 however, when i view the webstar log, one server seems to be handling 95-99% of all the load/hits. the concept seems simple; a browser requests a zone and the dns server will send the browser to the appropriate server based on the preferences. this zone probably becomes cached inside the users browser for x amount of time. this would account for the dns server not being able to balance the cached hits. still, i can't quite figure out why the zone seems to favor one server over the other. am i missing something? thanks, -james
