Figure 1.37. The REAL SERVER Configuration Panel
This panel consists of three entry fields:
- Name
- A descriptive name for the real server.
Note
This name is not the hostname for the machine, so make it descriptive and easily identifiable. - Address
- The real server's IP address. Since the listening port is already specified for the associated virtual server, do not add a port number.
- Weight
- An integer value indicating this host's capacity relative to that of other hosts in the pool. The value can be arbitrary, but treat it as a ratio in relation to other real servers.
