==token link==
The token link at the bottom of this page links to a disambigulation page. It should probably link directly. I'm not sure which of the tokens on the page are reffered to by this page, but someone who does should change it.

:{{User|billinghurst}} not sure what that lists article said back then, but it doesn't say much now. Not sure I agree with this removal or that lists don't belong in Wikipedia articles.

::{{ping|ImperfectlyInformed}} umm, follow the links. Please tell me how a simple list of red and blue links improves this encyclopaedic article. Nude lists like this are not only less than helpful, they are also a honeypot for the addition of crap, or more red links, or external links. Please include comment on whether a categorisation based on load balancing providers is a useful means to provide same information. Philosophically we are not trying to build a simple directory type listing of vendors, that belongs at other sites or at other places. So in your reply, tell me how the links in the section above actually improve the article, follow the links and show me a direct relevance to this article. — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 06:59, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
:::A rule of thumb that I've seen applied in other articles is that only blue links are allowed. There's 9 links linked at [[Wikipedia:Lists]]. [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lists]] says "Lists may be found within the body of a prose article or as a stand-alone article". As far as the relevance, solutions to load balancing seem relevant to me - whether that's an open-source solution ([[HAProxy]]) or a commercial one. Agreed that the way this list was laid out was not particularly helpful, but its removal leaves a gap in that this is an area which which is rather dominated by vendor solutions and now they receive hardly any sort of attention.

== Domain-based load ballancing? ==
I'm considering about mentioning ___domain-based load balancing (for example, the use of [[WWW2]]). Not sure where to add it. --[[User:Franklin Yu|Franklin Yu]] ([[User talk:Franklin Yu|talk]]) 06:28, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
==DNS Round Robin==
Please do not add DNS Round Robin as a load balancer. It has no knowledge of the "load" of each servers and gives a IP in the order it is listed. Further more, due to client side cache, if a server is down, the client will not be able to connect to it. I have mentioned this example: 100 web servers with "Hello World" HTML page and 5 clients connect everyday. On day 1, clients will connect to SRV1, SRV2, SRV3, SRV4, and SRV5. On day 20, SRV100 will be reached and during those 20 days, SRV1 will be completely idle with 0 connections. That is NOT load balancing or even failover.
:Please add new topic ''on the bottom''. You can use the ''New section'' button for simplicity.
:DNS Round Robin doesn't work in all scenarios, but it certainly does work in some. Please do not repeatedly delete content when your edit is reverted without discussion and consent, see [[WP:BRD]]. --[[User:Zac67|Zac67]] ([[User talk:Zac67|talk]]) 09:18, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:Now I have to login to explain these things?
:It isn't about scenarios or not; Its about a DNS Round Robin not checking loads on servers (see my example on 100 web servers), no probing if a server is up or down and not know what its pointing to: You can setup a DNS Round Robin for a HTTP page, SQL server and DNS Round Robin wouldnt care (no monitor)
:So PLEASE keep it deleted. At most, add a section as "alternatives" but explain WHY it isnt a load balancer. Thank you. [[User:Riahc3|Riahc3]] ([[User talk:Riahc3|talk]]) 06:38, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
