Rich's post was chock-full of interesting stuff. Susan's and Rich's
discussion has been very interesting.
But this really caught my attention.
"modify DNS to round-robin the queries".
When do you buy a DEC alpha or just buy a couple of pentium pros with
linux? But doing that with the DNS is beyond me.
I was wondering. I have one domain:
www.mydomain.com
and I want to put that domain in strategic locations: one server in
Europe, one in SA, one in Asia and a couple in the U.S. I don't want
different domain names. One domain name. Your type in the url and
if you are coming from Europe then you go the European server, if
from SA to the SA server etc. Is that possible? The web developers
upload files to the "core server" and I have some daemon running on
the "core server" which detects new files and transfers them to the
other servers to maintain synchronicity. Is there any explanation
anywhere about how to do this or why it isn't possible or what is the
next best solution?
