Hi,
I was wondering if it was possiable to setup 2 or more web servers that
could provide load blancing and "fail safe" methods.
Say 100 users request the web site at the exact same time, is there a way to
split this up, so 50 requests goto server a.domain.com and the other 50 to
b.domain.com?
Also say server b.domain.com went down (unexpectly), would there be a way to
provide a "fail safe" and have server a .domain.com take %100 of the hits
(without the users noticing) till b.domain.com gets back online and working
correctly?
I looked at round robin DNS, but if b.server.com went down, it will still
get requests and errors returned to the user because it was not online. I
also checked out high avaiable linux, which looks good, but only 1 of the
servers is going to be Linux (the other is Sparc Solaris), so it would also
have to be cross platform. (one server would be running apache and the other
stronghold (commerical apache version with SSL included)
Anyideas? I have been searching for days for a free (as in speech)
soluation to this. Any ideas, comments, flames would be helpful, because I
am between a rock and hard place.
Thanks,
Jack
