51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark <para>One main reason for deploying a directory proxy server is to balance
51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark workload across the directory servers available. Load balancing works
51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark particularly well for read operations, as each directory server can respond
51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark to read operations without impact on other directory servers. Load balancing
51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark can also be used in reverse for write operations, as in a replicated
51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark environment the results of each write operation must be applied on all
51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark directory servers to keep their data in sync.</para>
51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark <para>This chapter demonstrates how to configure proxy load balancing of
51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark client application traffic.</para>
