Adding service clusters

Top  Previous  Next

A service cluster is used for load balancing purposes and consists of one or more services.  When adding a proxy service you have the option setting the remote host to a fixed IP address or to use a service cluster.  If a service cluster is used then incoming connections are proxied to hosts in the service cluster using a round-robin load balancing algorithm.  To view service clusters click on the "Clusters" node in JSCAPE Reverse Proxy Manager.
