A lightweight, extendable Global Server Load Balancing(GSLB) solution, DNS-based traffic manager.
- Built as an enhancement for PowerDNS Authoritative Server
- Load-balancing methods:
- Weighted round-robin
- Topology(direct clients to end-points in the same region/datacenter)
- Failover group(active-backup)
- Parameterized(timeout, interval, retries etc.) health monitors:
- TCP(send string, match regexp)
- HTTP/S
- Up to 32 addresses returned in a response
- Different ways to handle the "all-pool-members-down" situation(fallback):
- return any configured end-points(ignore the health status)
- refuse query
