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 Virtual Service being contacted.
Each public IP must be NATed to a private IP address unless the LoadMaster is already on a public network.
Each distinct hostname must be configured in the LoadMaster individually.
You can create an FQDN for www.example.com and also www.kemptechnologies.com.
