Configuring a Standalone GSLB Domain
An Alteon can serve as a standalone GSLB device, meaning that it can perform GSLB health
checking and site selection to other sites without supporting SLB to local real servers.
The remote sites can be other sites configured with an Alteon running GSLB, an Alteon running only
SLB, or even a site that uses another vendor's load balancers.
An Alteon running GSLB can operate in standalone mode as long as it uses site selection metrics that
do not require remote site updates.
Example GSLB Topology with a Standalone GSLB Site
The procedures to implement the example GSLB topology illustrated in Figure 121 - GSLB Topology
with a Standalone GSLB Site Example, page 725 are described in this example.
