Add custom entries to a static proximity database

Last published : Sep 24, 2026
Custom entries take precedence over static entries in the proximity database. You can add a maximum of 3000 custom entries. For a custom entry, denote all omitted qualifiers with an asterisk (*) and, if qualifiers have a period or space in the name, enclose the parameter in double quotation marks. The first 31 characters are evaluated for each qualifier. You can also provide the longitude and latitude of the geographical location of the IP address-range for selecting a service with the static proximity GSLB method.

    This is a mandatory argument.
  • Location Name: String of qualifiers that is in dotted notation describes the geographical location of the IP address range. Each qualifier is more specific than the one that precedes it, as in continent.country.region.city.isp.organization. For example,"NA.US.CA.San Jose.ATT.citrix".
    This is a mandatory argument. Maximum Length: 197
    Note:
    A qualifier that includes a dot (.) or space ( ) must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
  • longitude: Numerical value that is in degrees specifies the longitude of the geographical location of the IP address-range. Maximum value: 180
  • latitude: Numerical value that is in degrees specifies the latitude of the geographical location of the IP address-range. Maximum value: 180
    Note:
    Longitude and latitude parameters are used for selecting a service with the static proximity GSLB method. If they are not specified, selection is based on the qualifiers specified for the location.
