Using a Load Balancer in an Active-Passive Configuration
When setting up an active-passive pair, you might want to configure a load balancer that acts as a DNS-redirector.
Configure the load balancer between two appliances so that it can determine which appliance is active and which
is passive. The load balancer then sends the traffic to the active appliance.
You can use the following endpoint API to configure the load balancer. Refer to your load balancer documentation
