6.4.1.11 RLM_PATH_RANDOMIZE

Setting RLM_PATH_RANDOMIZE (to any value) causes RLM to randomize the license path before any subsequent processing. This is useful in large installations to provide a rudimentary form of load balancing by causing different users with the same setting of RLM_LICENSE or ISV_LICENSE to use different license servers.

Note that RLM_PATH_RANDOMIZE has no effect on the RLM or ISV servers. RLM_PATH_RANDOMIZE operates by selecting a new starting point in the license list and wrapping around from the last license spec to the first. Otherwise, the order or the license list is preserved.
