| <title>Load Balancer Rules</title> |
| <para>A &PRODUCT; user or administrator may create load balancing rules that balance traffic |
| received at a public IP to one or more VMs. A user creates a rule, specifies an algorithm, and |
| assigns the rule to a set of VMs.</para> |
| <note> |
| <para>If you create load balancing rules while using a network service offering that includes an |
| external load balancer device such as NetScaler, and later change the network service offering |
| to one that uses the &PRODUCT; virtual router, you must create a firewall rule on the virtual |
| router for each of your existing load balancing rules so that they continue to |
| function.</para> |
