NOTE:  The letters in Figure 47 are referenced in the table that follows. The addresses shown are for illustration purposes only. You will need to substitute actual addresses for your network.

Although Figure 47 shows the origin Web server on the Internet, it could be on the same network as the DNS server and the Web server accelerators, and the browsers could be on the Internet, as shown in Web Server Accelerator Setup.

To Do This Notes

Ensure your basic network configuration is complete
  1. See Basic Network Configuration Setup.

Set up two or more appliances as Web server accelerators to the same origin Web server
  1. See Web Server Accelerator Setup.

See A in Figure 47.

If you want the appliances to share cached objects, configure them as ICP peers. See ICP Hierarchy Setup.

Modify DNS
  1. Take the necessary steps to have DNS resolve requests for the origin Web server to the numeric IP addresses of appliances configured as accelerators.

See B in Figure 47.

Round-Robin DNS is a standard DNS function.
