Additional considerations with load balancing Turnkey and MDrivenServer

Load balancing the Turnkey server

Use sticky-session to make sure user returns to same node during the session.

If you need to signal the LoadBalancer we suggest that you model a page and make it RestAllow=true - give the url to your load balancer and return the data you have agreed upon. For example you may want to return Active , or InActive in order to implement some application setting to move traffic away from a node you will work on.

Load balancing the MDrivenServer

Use Fail-over in load balancer. Only 1 MDrivenServer should be used at a time - but you can have hot-standbys.

Since the load balancer must know which of multiple MDrivenServers that is candidate for being the hot one - and also remember which one is hot you can give the load balancer the url http://<yourserver>/home/ReturnNodeNameIfOk

You then set unique names of the nodes in the UserAndRolesAdmin page in MDrivenServer

It is important that the Hot-standbys do not execute ServerSide-jobs - since these should only be on One server.
