Managing health status of network devices in a distributed global server load balancing system

摘要

Provided are methods and systems for managing health statuses of servers. The method for managing health statuses of servers in a distributed GSLB system may include receiving, at a GSLB site controller, health statuses of local servers associated with the GSLB site controller. The method may further include exchanging, by the GSLB site controller, the health statuses of the local servers with health statuses of remote servers associated with at least one remote GSLB site controller. The method may further include distributing, by the GSLB site controller, at least a part of the health statuses of the local servers and the remote servers to SLBs associated with the GSLB site controller.
