Px Series Application Switch Installation and Configuration Guide

Figure 7-1: Typical switching scenario

Domain Switching

Domain switching uses the requested domain name to select the appropriate server
group. For example, in Figure 7-2, there are three server groups:

•

www.buystuff.com

•

www.speakyourmind.net

•

www.buythisnow.net

WS_005

Server Group 1

Server Group 2

Server Group 3

Outside
