Setting up a cluster for MaaS360 VPN
Follow these steps to set up a VPN cluster when the number of inbound VPN connections exceeds the number of connections that a single instance of the MaaS360® VPN server can handle.
About this task
The MaaS360 VPN does not load balance traffic between nodes in a cluster. Use a front end load balancer to balance traffic between multiple members of the cluster.
Use one of the following options to load balance traffic
between multiple members in a cluster by balancing the external URL assigned for the VPN between
round robin DNS and a load balancer:
- Use round robin DNS to alternate traffic between various endpoints. Round robin DNS cannot compensate for a node that is offline or unavailable.
- Use a load balancer to handle traffic that is distributed between endpoints. Use a persistence profile that locks traffic between each device endpoint to a single server during a session. Consult with your network administrator for the best method to use with this option.
