Best Practices Guide Scenario 2
Workstation configuration
One PIPEMAN process
One NIF
One network adapter
DNS configuration
This configuration relies on the DNS server to cause incoming connection
requests to be distributed among the NIFs. For example, a round-robin DNS
system can be employed. The example shown in Figure E-4 makes use of a
DNS server that will give a different IP address for HOST1 on each name
lookup. The first workstation that connects uses10.1.90.20, the second uses
10.1.90.21, and so on.
If a round-robin DNS system is not available, the individual workstations need
to be configured to connect to specific NIFs on the host by using the
[RESOLVER] section (see the text at the bottom of Figure E-5). This
configuration is more complicated but does not severely reduce the throughp ut
and availability, because the [RESOLVER] entry for a host can give multiple IP
addresses for that host in order to handle the contingency that the first listed IP
address cannot be used (for example due to a network-adapter failure on the
host).
