Load Balancing

Load balancing is a standard feature of EFI XF 3.1 and later and is described in the manual provided with the product. However, in EFI XF 3.0, load balancing is not an officially supported feature and can only be achieved by manual ticket editing. Manual ticket editing is only recommended for experienced users. This document describes the steps necessary to achieve load balancing in EFI XF 3.0. NOTE: This method of load balancing cannot be applied to versions of EFI XF prior to 3.0.
