Ryan Durfey updated TC-387:
---------------------------
Description:
Currently when we build a DNS routed service there is a parameter assigned
called maximum IP address which determines how many cache IPs in each cache
group should be handed out to the DNS system for the client. This determines
the number of caches across which content is assigned. For small services we
typically assign 1-2 caches for larger services we assign 3-5 caches.
This is currently done manually and if a service grows rapidly they could be
handling a large volume of traffic and only have one cache in each group
assigned.
I would like to consider some type of feedback loop which gages the popularity
of a service and dynamically adjusts the number of cache IPs handed out.
We should also consider splitting up this behavior of tying DNS address hand
out to the number of caches across which we hash content. These should be
separate configuration and only the number of caches to hash across needs to be
dynamic.
