GEO capacity and performance have been improved in this release:

  • In previous releases, the number of Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) that can be defined is limited to 256 total FQDNs. With this release, significant improvements to processing and performance have resulted in the removal of this limitation. The practical limit to the number of FQDNs supported will be determined by available system resources -- including the amount of load balanced traffic being handled by LoadMaster. As a rule of thumb, an FQDN with 64 IP addresses consumes about 2MB of memory.
  • The global limit of 1024 IP addresses and records has also been removed. [Note: the limit of 64 IP addresses per FQDN remains.]
  • Modifications to the FQDN UI support the above limitation changes and the UI should be generally more responsive than in previous releases.
