RE: Load Balancing?!?!?!

I can find two settings:
Server Manager :: My Servers :: Edit Server
Purposing: Everyone/Reseller Only.
My Server; Users; Load Balancing and see the following:
Host Setting: Automatic/Manual
Reseller: Automatic/Manual,with the ability to select resellers.
Are these the settings you are talking about?
Yes I am talking about these two settings.
I tried to look both of them up in the on-line documentation, but could not find any description of these settings.
Quick help is available in HC panel for purposing. Manual load balancing is a new option added so we will update our online documentation soon.
Which leads to two questions:
1. I am not sure exactly what these settings do. Are they documented in plain english as to their purpose?
Let me explain you these two options:
1- Purposing
Each server added in the cluster can be used for either only resellers or for both resellers and shared hosting; this needs to be made clear while adding a new server.
Everyone (Reseller, End User) : It refers to the shared hosting. Selecting this option makes server available for shared hosting only.
Reseller Only : It refers to the dedicated hosting. Selecting this option makes server available for reseller hosting only.
2- Load Balancer Settings
Host Settings :
- If you have selected 'Automatic' means Load Balancing is enabled for host and HC will decide where to create resellers according to the servers added in the cluster.
- If you have selected 'Manual' means Load Balancing is disabled for host and HC will list the available servers according to the servers added in the cluster to create resellers.
Resellers Settings :
- If you have selected 'Automatic' means Load Balancing is enabled for resellers and HC will decide where to create domains/users according to the servers added in the cluster.
- If you have selected 'Manual' means Load Balancing is disabled for resellers and HC will list the available servers according to the servers added in the cluster to create domains/users.
2. How do these two setting interact with each other?
Load balancing is based on purposing selected under Server Manager for each server. As in your case, you want to have data of all resellers on a single server so you can select 'Reseller Only' purposing for your main server.
