title>Balancing Workload Across Servers</
title>
6443N/A <
para>One main reason for deploying a directory proxy server is to balance
6443N/A workload across the directory servers available. Load balancing works
6443N/A particularly well for read operations, as each directory server can respond
6443N/A to read operations without impact on other directory servers. Load balancing
6443N/A can also be used in reverse for write operations, as in a replicated
6443N/A environment the results of each write operation must be applied on all
6443N/A directory servers to keep their data in sync.</
