Follow these guidelines when you deploy
a third-party load balancer connected directly to Unwired Server client ports.
The load balancer must:
- Balance connections at the TCP/IP level.
- Perform all load balancing on client connections to the Unwired Server cluster,
independent of any other network device.
- Connect directly to the client ports of each Unwired Server in the cluster.
- Support client request routing (i.e., back-end server affinity) for non-persistent
HTTP connections, based on inspecting the ml-session-id HTTP
header.
Note: To allow header inspection, the load balancer must be a TLS endpoint on HTTPS
connections from mobile clients.
