My understanding: Orion loadbalances if selectionType is set to random. If there are multiple islands capable of serving up the same site - then a random selection is done to pick the island. Within the island a server is selected at random. Question: 1) When would you distribute the same application across islands? Load Balancing happens even across islands. 2) Does Orion multicast the state? If so - it is a security concern anyone can sniff up the packets. 3) How can a loadbalancer allow some and disallow other orionserver instances in the same subnet from joining its islands? 4) By default Orion loadbalancing statically binds a session to a server - if 1 client session makes lots of requests is there a way to distribute these requests across servers?
