Zones

In a standard Portal Server configuration, a client selecting a video is algorithmically directed
to a load-balanced (Internet or LAN) server. This is normal Portal Server behavior and the
Zones page is not used. The Zones page, if used, directs Portal Server clients (or a range of
clients) to specific servers (or a range of servers). It associates each incoming network address
with one or more server addresses. If using this page, you will typically create different
named zones with different sets of client and server IP addresses. Note that if a client IP
address is not included in the

Client Address(es)

list, that client is directed to the

Server

Address(es)

.

This page is also used to redirect clients when there is a server failure. The Portal Server polls
all networked VOD servers at the polling interval specified in Global Settings. If the poll
indicates a server failure, the specified Portal Server clients are automatically redirected to the
default server(s) only if the

Hide Content

option is checked on the

Assign VOD Polling Interval

page. If unchecked, there will be no rollover to the specified default servers in the event of a
server failure.
