Re: Load Balancing
From: Men & Mice Support

- Launch QuickDNS Load Balancer on each QuickDNS server, and make
sure it launches automatically at boot time.
- Create a load balance record. Good values for some of the fields are:
TTL: 300
Interval: 30
Hostlife: 90
Enter your web servers' IP addresses, along with your desired ratios.
- If you have additional names that you want load-balanced in the
same way, use CNAME records instead of more load balance records.
One thing to watch out for: Always connect to your QuickDNS servers
with QuickDNS Manager by name, not IP address, when you want to work
with load balance records. If you connect by IP address, there will
be problems that can only be solved by deleting and recreating your
load balance record.
