Proper IP-based load balancing

Recommended Posts

Posted ... (edited)

Are there any plans to implement proper IP-based load balancing on a per city/data-center basis?

  • Gives a single point of contact on a per-location basis in a way that automatically factors out down servers
  • For physically large countries like US, Canada, DNS-based load balancing by country is far from ideal
  • Better supports home-router connections for whole-home connections to the closest location (and which can't easily fail over if one location's server is down)
  • Supports advanced configurations like policy-based-routing (which need IP addresses) seamlessly 


Almost any data center will support IP load balancing at the router level, letting you have as many servers as you want behind a single input IP.
