Round-Robin DNS is NOT a load balancer; It does not have any type of technology per say to monitor loads on servers Tags: Manual revert Reverted |

Line 134:
One of the most commonly used applications of load balancing is to provide a single Internet service from multiple [[Server (computing)|server]]s, sometimes known as a [[server farm]]. Commonly load-balanced systems include popular [[web site]]s, large [[Internet Relay Chat]] networks, high-bandwidth [[File Transfer Protocol]] (FTP) sites, [[Network News Transfer Protocol]] (NNTP) servers, [[Domain Name System]] (DNS) servers, and databases.
====Round-robin DNS====
{{Main|Round-robin DNS}}
[[Round-robin DNS]] is an alternate method of load balancing that does not require a dedicated software or hardware node. In this technique, multiple [[IP address]]es are associated with a single [[___domain name]]; clients are given IP in a round-robin fashion. IP is assigned to clients with a short expiration so the client is more likely to use a different IP the next time they access the Internet service being requested.
