Abstract
DNS load balancing is the simplest form of load balancing. That said, it’s also very powerful. It can be used to solve many performance problems very quickly as it allows you to direct incoming traffic to any one of a set of servers. But as with all quick and easy solutions, there are many things that DNS load balancing can’t do. If it was a panacea, after all, we would not have had to write this book.
