displays.
Load Balancer Method Settings dialog box
QuarkXPress Server Manager lets you use choose from three load-balancing settings:
Dynamic Load Balancer: Sends requests to servers based on file size
Random Load Balancer: Sends each rendering request to a random server
Round-robin Load Balancer: Sends requests to servers in a set order
For more information about these load-balancing settings, see “Load balancing.
Deleting a QuarkXPress Server instance
To delete a QuarkXPress Server instance from the list of available servers in the
QuarkXPress Server Manager interface, display the Manage Servers pane, select
the server name or IP address, and then click Delete. You can also delete a server by
hovering the mouse cursor over the server and then clicking the Delete the Server
button on the upper left.
Deleting a QuarkXPress Server instance from this dialog box does not shut down
the QuarkXPress Server instance, but it does prevent the QuarkXPress Server
Manager server from routing rendering requests to the QuarkXPress Server instance.
Managing the cache
Each QuarkXPress Server Manager server has an in-memory cache (in which it stores
the keys to recently accessed items) and a disk-based cache (in which the items
themselves are stored). If a request for a recently used item arrives, and a
QuarkXPress Server Manager server has that request in its memory cache, the server
can simply return the response from its disk cache instead of having to send the
request to a QuarkXPress Server instance.
To manage the QuarkXPress Server Manager cache, display the Manage Cache pane
of the QuarkXPress Server Manager interface.
