Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Developing AppServer Applications

Using load balancing

If you install the AppServer Load Balancer for a NameServer installation, you can optimize overall performance based on the machine capacity of each installation. Using this option, the NameServer distributes connection requests among the AppServer installations according to weight factors that you set on each AppServer. For more information on load balancing and session models, see the information on load balancing and session models in Chapter 1, " AppServer and Client Interaction."
