Dear list! Does anyone know of any provider which allows the hosting of IPVS at reasonable prices?
Let me briefly explain what the problem is: I understand that using IP Virtual Server I can set a a cluster of machines that share on IP address and use some heartbeat mechanism to negotiate on what pyhsical NIC that IP address will be at any given point in time. Now if we want to build a reliable service on the Internet (say a website, for example) we can have one A record for www.oursite.net point to one IP address only. So we would want that IP address to transparently fail over between two data centers. Of course we can put two (or more) servers into different data centers but one IP will be routed to one physical destination, won't it? So wouldn't it make sense for someone who owns a network infrastructure to offer IPVS as a service and have the IP address point to whatever real servers which I can configure? I hope my question did become clear.
