Not entirely. The realserver process will migrate between processors all on its' own, as the CPU scheduler determines that a given processor is idle. In your case, however, having a dual-core HT processor which *looks like* 4 processors, you actually only have 2. There are some well-written pieces out there on the internet stating that for servers you're actually better off having HT turned off, for Linux at least, because the SMP overhead under HT consumes a small amount of performance. I don't know whether or not this is right, though. > ok. please another way? Run a Xen host. Have several Xen guests - one for the director, and two for the realservers. That way, although it's all virtual, it'll look real to the guests.
