GSLB AppNote

[#3]

I'm a bit behind on getting the 5.3 version out the door.  I will try to have it updated late this month or early in the new year.  This looks best if you print it in color on 11x17 paper fit to margins.  There is some small font.

ActiveN is extremly powerful and allows you to scale you site as large as you need it without worrying about "turning on too many features" in your LB with one config and one VIP.

DX NATs most of it's connections, there may be times when you need to get the end-user's IP address to backend servers as part of the TCP stack. 

There is usually a better option if the app or webserver can look at an HTTP header rather than requiring the IP in the TCP stack.  Use the "custom ip log header" in your cluster.  There is a global settign that can be cutomized on a per Cluster Group basis if you so require.

Most applications work well with default DX settings but there are some apps that require a bit of tweaking.  This doc covers:

·	All web applications with NTLM authentication (section 4.1)
·	Domino Web Server (section 4.2)
·	Endeca (section 4.2)
·	IBM WebSphere (sections 4.2 and 4.4)
·	iNotes6 (section 4.2)
·	MS Project (section 4.5)
·	Outlook Web access (see specific OWA AppNote)
·	Peoplesoft – JD Edwards(section 4.4)
·	Sharepoint (see specific Sharepoint AppNote)
·	Siebel (section 4.6)
·	WebLogic (sections 4.2 and 4.3)

 

If you find any other apps that require setting changes please post them so others can benefit.   Please see Sahrepoint and OWA specifc Appnotes.

This docs explains how to do upgrades to your DX.  This is the only way to do upgrades for versions 5.2 and earlier.

5.3 adds a very simple broswer based upgrade path with no need for SCP or TFTP.  You  can still do it the old school way if you would like to.   I will post a video version of a 5.3 upgrade.

Here is the latest DX-Eval guide. This is a great starting point to familiarize yourself with DX functionality and how to how off DX features.
