Configuring hosts
Host settings are used to form the zone configuration and resource records in the generated DNS zone used for global load balancing.
Figure 48 shows how the host settings are mapped to zone settings and resource records. Domain and hostname are used in both the configuration and the generated configuration name. The IP address and weight are derived from the virtual server pool.
Before you begin:
• You must have created the global virtual server pools you want to use.
• You must have Read-Write permission for Global DNS Server settings.
After you have created a host configuration object, it can be used to form the zone and resource records in the generated DNS zone configuration.
Before you begin:
• You must have Read-Write permission for Global DNS Server settings.
