a. Using the GUI drag and drop functionality, click on a GeoSite on the left navigational pane
and drag it to the desired GeoCluster on the tree. The GeoSite instance weight form will be
displayed.
b. Right click on a GeoCluster on the left navigational pane and select Add GeoSite Instance.
The Add GeoSite Instance form will be displayed. If this method is used, you will need to
enter the GeoSite IP Address and select the desired GeoSite using the GeoSite Name drop
down list.
4. In both methods of creating GeoSite Instances the GeoSite IP Address is required. This is the IP address
returned by DNS to a client when the GeoCluster is accessed. For example, when a client opens
www.coyotepoint.com, the local DNS server returns an A record that contains the IP address for
www.coyotepoint.com. This is usually the address of an Equalizer cluster and in this case is also
used as the resource IP. However, the site’s A record IP may be different from the cluster (resource) IP if
the A record IP address is NAT’ed to an internal address (the actual cluster IP). In this case, you specify
the A record IP as the site IP and the cluster IP as the resource IP.
5. Using the slider on either form, adjust the Weight, which is an integer that represents the site’s capacity.
(This value is similar to a server’s initial weight.) Valid values range between 10 and 200. Use the default of
100 if all sites are configured similarly; otherwise, adjust higher or lower for sites that have more or less
capacity.
Equalizer uses a site’s initial weight as the starting point for determining what percentage of requests to
route to that site. Equalizer assigns sites with a higher initial weight a higher percentage of the load. The
relative values of site initial weights are more important than the actual values. For example, if two sites are
in a GeoCluster and one has roughly twice the capacity of the other, setting the initial weights to 50 and 100
is equivalent to setting the initial weights to 100 and 200.
