| Load balance multiple protocols and ports | Use multiple load balancers to the same IP address each with an incoming connection to a different port |
| Algorithms | - The algorithms vCloud Director supports are:
- ROUND_ROBIN
- IP_HASH
- LEAST_CONN
- URI
|
| Addresses | In vCloud Director a load balancer must have a "public address", which is an address on an external network (connected to the Edge, meaning external to the OrgVDC or external routed networks). The platform does not support the use of private subnets for load balancers in vCloud because vCloud cannot use isolated external networks or private networks when creating load balancers. To load balance multiple protocols and ports, you can use multiple load balancers to the same IP address but each with a different port. |
