Zones
In a standard Portal Server configuration, a client selecting a video is algorithmically directed
to a load-balanced (Internet or LAN) server. This is normal Portal Server behavior and the
Zones page is not used. The Zones page,
if used , directs Portal Server clients (or a range of
clients) to specific servers (or a range of servers). It associates each incoming network address
with one or more server addresses. If using this page, you will typically create different
named zones with different sets of client and server IP addresses. Note that if a client IP
address is not included in the
Client Address(es)
list, that client is directed to the
Server
Address(es)
.
This page is also used to redirect clients when there is a server failure. The Portal Server polls
all networked VOD servers at the polling interval specified in Global Settings. If the poll
indicates a server failure, the specified Portal Server clients are automatically redirected to the
default server(s) only if the
Hide Content
option is checked on the
Assign VOD Polling Interval
page. If unchecked, there will be no rollover to the specified default servers in the event of a
server failure.
