What Is FatPipe SmartDNS?

SmartDNS is a patented technology that provides inbound load balancing to public facing servers in the LAN.

Benefits of FatPipe SmartDNS

  • Load Balancing: SmartDNS balances load by advertising the different paths into a host on a LAN. The host appears to be a different IP address at different times, thus using all available lines. The IP addresses are resolved based on the selected interface-to-network mappings.
  • Speed: Through load balancing, FatPipe SmartDNS speeds up the delivery of inbound traffic according to the interface-to-network mappings selected by the administrator.
  • Failover: SmartDNS will dynamically sense when a failure occurs and will make adjustments to the DNS replies so it will not hand out IP addresses that are associated with connections that are down.
