Netscape’s Application Server provides three modes for distributing applications:

Local - Requests for Application Components are not load balanced.

Distributed - Application Components are load balanced between a designated set of NAS servers.

Global - Application Components are load balanced between all NAS servers using the same multicast address.

Sticky Load Balancing

Enable Sticky LB from the Application screen of the NAS Administration tool.
