Understanding How The API Works
Traffic Manager is designed to load balance traffic based on up to seven geographic regions, with failover functionality if an endpoint becomes unavailable. Traffic Manager uses the Dyn Anycast network to make routing decisions. Traffic Manager, often abbreviated TM or GSLB for Global Service Load Balance, can be configured and managed using the API.
In order for monitoring to occur on your account, please make sure the IP addresses included here (https://manage.dynect.net/help/agents.html) can reach all your network endpoints. The web page requires you to log-on to Dyn’s Managed DNS.
