A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is the hostname in which you need to perform load balancing. The FQDN can be any hostname in the top-level domain or a hostname that is nested as a sub-domain. Each FQDN can be an A (IPv4) or AAAA (IPv6) record.
Guidance on the number of public IP addresses you need to have available for publicly delegating FQDNs for GEO is below:
-
One public IP address is needed for each LoadMaster/HA pair that is configured.
-
One public IP address is needed for each endpoint being contacted.
Each public IP must be tied to an endpoint, or if the end point has a private IP address then the public IP address must NAT to it.
Each distinct hostname must be configured in the LoadMaster individually.
You can create an FQDN for www.example.com and also www.kemptechnologies.com.
