What is front end load balancer? In case of redundant load balancers, example.com gets mapped to whose ip address? What is proxy ip/ virtual ip?
Hello @Swati_Singh,
A front-end load balancer is a server that accepts requests from clients using a virtual IP address. It selects which reverse proxy server is best suited to handle the request and routes it to that server. Incoming requests from the same client are forwarded to the same server.
Multiple domain names or servers that share an IP address based on a single network interface card are given a virtual IP address. Virtual IP addresses are allocated to virtual private servers, websites, or applications residing on a single server. A network administrator assigns a network IP address to the host server for these applications, whereas the various server apps have virtual IP addresses. Virtual IP addresses enhance network load balancing and redundancy.
The given example.com link is not working.
I hope the answer will be helpful.
Thank you.
