Round Robin

 

Load balancing / Round Robin configuration allows you to distribute your server load evenly among multiple servers. You would create multiple A records with the same name but with different associated IP’s.

For example, assume two different A records, example.com pointed to 1.2.3.4 and example.com pointed to 1.2.3.5. We would then have a www.example.com CNAME record that aliases to the root records of the domain. Load would be split evenly as 50% of the time, the queries would be sent to the server at 1.2.3.4 and 50% of the time queries would be sent to the server at 1.2.3.5.

    1. Select the DNS Menu
    2. Select Managed DNS

    1. Select a domain from the either the “Recently Updated Domains” box, or start typing the domain name in the textbox on the “Select Domain” tab.

    1. Under “A Records” click the plus sign to add a new record.

    1. We will create an A record for the root record of the domain example.com with an IP address of 1.2.3.4 and a TTL of 1800 seconds. We will then create a second A record for the root record of example.com with an IP address of 1.2.3.5 and a TTL of 1800 seconds.
