Loadbalancing F.A.Q.'s

Do I have to use specific servers in order to load balance?

No. Any server in the datacenter can be used. Specific servers do not need to be rented to load balance.

Does a load balancer guarantee no downtime?

Not necessarily. Purchasing one appliance introduces a single point of failure therefore it is highly advisable to buy a clustered pair.

Can I add or remove servers from my cluster without downtime?

Yes. Another great advantage of a clustered pair is you can add or remove servers from the cluster without any downtime. You can also change the OS or upgrade the software on one of the servers while the other continues to fully function.
