Incoming traffic balancing is based on primary and secondary DNS entries that point to the client’s environment. Each session’s establishment or incoming protocol transaction will make a name resolution before establishing the session. The role of the Elfiq Link Balancer is to intercept those DNS queries and to respond based on link availability and other pre configured factors. Every service provided over the WAN/Internet links contains virtual DNS entries known as IDNS Resource Records (IDNS RR), and every IDNS RR entry is associated with an outgoing GMAC (WAN router). Many virtual DNS entries can be created in the Link Balancer in order to answer all incoming DNS queries.
