6. Select the relevant load balancing algorithm from the Selection Criteria drop-down list.
For more information on the selection criteria, refer to the GEO, Product Overview.
7. If the Selection Criteria is set to Location Based, you can specify whether or not to allow
Fail Over.
When the Fail Over option is enabled - if a request comes from a specific
region and the target is down, the connection will fail over and be answered
with the next level in the hierarchy. If this is not available, the connection
will be answered by the nearest (by proximity) target. If this is not possible,
the target with the lowest requests will be picked. The Fail Over setting
affects all targets.
