How do other co's use Global Load Balancing with multiple DC?

Hi Manc,

 

 

Some major services do use a single IP. You can check netcraft for some examples that are using GTM with a single IP response per A query. When clients to get multiple IPs in the same datacenter, it could be multiple virtual servers that all do a hash based load balancing/persistence to get clients back to the same app instance. Or they could have shared memory/database for session information and not need to persist sessions to the same application instance. There are quite a few options in this area.

 

 

Here's an interesting discussion on ServerFault with a few relevant points:

Are you trying to address something specific in your situation?
