Advanced GSLB configuration for IPv6

The command results in an “IP-address not found for host-name” error if the IPv6 address
specified for the ip-weight parameter was not used as an argument when you defined the IP list.

If no IP list is defined for the host, the IP weight for the host IPs are removed from the GSLB DNS

You can configure the ServerIron ADX to distribute SLB traffic among GSLB sites based on weights
configured for the sites. The weights determine the percentage of traffic each site will receive in
comparison with other sites, which may or may not have weights.
