By applying our algorithm into a simulation model with real data and comparing its performance with the original round-robin DNS setting, we found that around 40% of the incoming requests had shorter service time and almost no incoming requests got longer service time. We have also applied DDLB into a real system and we found that the improvement was up to 58% in the peak period. Our proposed algorithm not only works very well in a real system, but also has simple implementation such that the existing configuration can be easily modified to apply.enLoad BalancingSimulation ModelService TimePeak PeriodSimple ImplementationIncoming RequestsDistribution SystemMeasurement PeriodInternet ServiceOptimal Threshold ValueContent CachingSimple LoadingConference Paper10.1109/ICDCSW.2003.1203676
