About entry balancing

Entry balancing allows you to automatically spread entries below a common parent among multiple sets of directory servers for improved scalability and performance.

Entry balancing can take advantage of a global index. A global index is an in-memory cache used for quickly determining which set or sets of servers to use to process a request based on the entry distinguished names (DNs) and attribute values.
