FIGURE 1
Global Server Load Balancing configuration
This example shows a Brocade Virtual ADX configured as a DNS proxy. The Brocade Virtual ADX is
configured as a DNS proxy for the DNS server that is authoritative for the domain brocade.com. To
configure the Brocade Virtual ADX as a DNS proxy, you identify the DNS name and configure a
virtual IP address (VIP) for the DNS. Requests from clients or other DNS servers go to the VIP on the
Brocade Virtual ADX, not directly to the DNS server. The Brocade Virtual ADX then sends the
requests to the DNS server, transparently to the clients or other DNS servers.
NOTE
As an alternative to configuring the GSLB Brocade Virtual ADX as a proxy, you can configure it to
intercept and either redirect or directly respond to DNS queries. Refer to
