Hi!
Current implementation of HAProxy is working great for us. The other day
we had a server failure without us or our customers' noticing.
Today our HAProxy solution is hosted on the same location as our content
servers. Unfortunately we have experienced problems with our hosting
companies. Changing the IP for all the domain names for the web pages
hosted on our servers every time we need to switch to a new host is too
much work.
To solve this we wish to relocate the HAProxy servers to a different
location than the content servers. The new host is placed at the
backbone of our countrys internet and the ips can be moved to another
host if needed. With this change we will be able to host our content
servers and backup servers at any location and can move them around
without updating all the domain names every time.
However we are concerned about the performance penalty of hosting the
HAProxy servers at an different location that the content servers. Are
there any statistics on what kind of performance penalty we will
receive, and any other unforeseen effects this might have?
