css content weight?

[mattbclarke]

Hi,

I have the following scenario, I have site A and site B, both are currently working using one vip each, with 2 services under each.. and we are using GSLB under the contents i.e. add dns www.domain.com..

All is working fine and we are using the app session and "dns both" to dynamically pass the content from switch A to switch B and vice versa..

However when I make the dns query for "www.domain.com" to each switch indepentantly they each give back their local content VIP (unless I manually fail one of the sites).. I would like switch B to always pass back the VIP for switch A in its dns response (unless site A is down).

I have tried looking at weight but this seems only to apply to services... does anyone have any ideas on how to achieve this?

Many thanks

Matt

Matt,

you have to first convert from content-based GSLB to zone-based.

With zone-based GSLB you can use weight.

ie:

CSS11503-2(config)# dns-server zone 1 tier1 "css1503-2" ?

Execute command

weightedrr Return records using a weighted round robin algorithm

Look at the following link to convert from content-based to zone-based GSLB
