True, you want to keep it as close to the source but of course no app
has a complete picture and you could still get spikes. Sustained
traffic is
My question is why would the app use the load balancing, that should be
happening at the server end, not on the app side.

I'm no expert in the art of load balancing, that's for sure. I chose to use
the client side as it seemed to require less resources than the server side,

With the old version, the server never actually crashed, but did go above
loadavg of around 4 (max acceptable) on occasion. We're talking 250,000 to
500,000 hits per day with peaks in the 1000's per minute. With the newer
version, the servers are in good shape and everything flows quite well.

Does it have a hard-coded IP address? If not, then why not load balance
at the DNS level?
DNS is best (dnsmadeeasy do it cheap) but you could do it with a load
balancing proxy at the ip level such as with relayd on OpenBSD. Nginx,
varnish
and others may do it too.

Tim,
Thanks for the tips.
Actually, it doesn't really matter as the app does a pretty good job by
itself. Also, the old app is life limited and will be replaced in about a
week with a new app that uses a fraction of the server resources of the old
one, rendering the problem of an overloaded
About a month ago I published a major upgrade of my app Radar Now! that
included load balancing to prevent the one server it had been using from
being swamped. The app used to suffer when a storm would go over

FWIW, John, I updated to the LG version of the Market when it was first
announced not all that long ago, and since then it has been erratic as hell.
Sometimes it says I have about 50 installed apps, other times about 90
