TCP health check behavior for server addresses configured as FQDN
FQDN in Server Address in Health Check Configuration
- SWG will do DNS query to get the IP addresses.
- If DNS query fails, SWG will consider the server as Unhealthy.
- If DNS returns single IP address, the behavior is same as that when an IP: Port is configured.
- If DNS returns multiple IP addresses:
- If a single IP is found healthy, the Server is considered as healthy.
- If the first IP is found unhealthy, then go to the next IP address in the list.
- For each IP address, the logic for determining the health is the same as that when IP: Port is configured.
-
During live traffic, SWG connects to healthy DNS-resolved IP. This avoids DNS queries for the live traffic.
