Hi,
at work we have a setup with Zeus (stingray now I think) sitting as a load
balancer in front of our web pools. Over time we've used the LB for a whole
lot more than we should have and now have a bunch of logic sitting in there
directing traffic around.
e.g. we have rules like
if(string.startsWith('/framework')){
pool.use('static.content');
}
One of the problems with this is that it makes our automated testing on our
local environments more difficult. If we are wanting to test the
integration of two or more sites (something we do quite often) on our
local, development, test, and production environments, then we need
something sitting between the load balancer and the pools doing the work.
We've talked in the past about using NGINX or Varnish as this layer as they
are scalable solutions however the experience on windows for these isnt'
great.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas for what/how we can
solve this from a local development machine all the way up to a production
environment.
