Netscape
Application Server provides three modes for handling session data:
Local
Runs on the
NAS to which request is sent (no LB). The Web Connector knows
about only one NAS: the home NAS. The home NAS receives requests
and does not load balance the requests.
Distributed
Runs on
the specified set of NASs.
This
can be done through NAS Administrator. Participating members
share information through multicasting.
Global
This is the
entire set of NAS machines that share the same multicast port.
To set the
Mode property from the NAS Administrator:
Open
the Application screen of the NAS Administrator tool.In the
left frame, highlight the server to change and the application
to modify.
Select
an application component, and modify and change the mode to
local, distributed, or global.
Alternatively,
click on the Toggle Mode button for the appropriate mode.
Click OK
and then Apply.
Repeat
for each Netscape Application Server participating in the load
balancing of the application component.
