Can I control the load servers hosts file?

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

LoadIntelligence enables you to control the hosts file of the launched servers. As a result, you are able to add additional local DNS entries as if you were editing the hosts file locally.

One important use for this feature is to have a permanent DNS resolution for certain DNS names. This can reduce the number of times LoadIntelligence calls on your DNS for name resolution.

To do this just use the regular file upload mechanism to upload a hosts file. The new hosts file should include at least one line of the form: 127.0.0.1 localhost. LoadIntelligence will identify the hosts file and replace the servers’ hosts file with the newly uploaded file.
