    Hi.

     

    Yes, and more :-)

     

     

    Type of LB that can interest your:

     

    Kilobytes/Second:

    BIG-IP DNS distributes DNS name resolution requests to the virtual server that is currently processing the fewest number of kilobytes per second. UseKilobytes/Second only with virtual servers for which BIG-IP DNS can collect the kilobytes per second metric.

     

    Packet Rate:

    BIG-IP DNS distributes DNS name resolution requests to the virtual server that is currently processing the fewest number of packets per second.

     

    Quality of Service:

    BIG-IP DNS distributes DNS name resolution requests to virtual servers based on a score assigned to each virtual server that is calculated from current performance metrics. Use Quality of Service only when you have configured BIG-IP DNS to calculate an overall score for each virtual server based on performance metrics.

     

    You have more dynamic LB used by DNS module in the following link:
