balancing (Rich Mode) can place a heavy burden on the load
balancers. This is ideal for balancing by CPU Utilization. Layer 4
load balancing is typically many short duration connections. In this

farms loading. This is ideal for balancing by Response Time.
The mapping of services to hostnames is also the easiest place to
designate a service standby. If the service had been designated as
standby in the agent record when it was first configured, it would
have no effect. The standby command for an agent or ISV Group is
a shortcut to placing that service in standby in all the hostnames that
use that service at the time the command is issued.
