[cobalt-users] Load Balancing / Multiplexing / Redundancy of Cobalt Servers. HELP!



Hello,
I have read a lot on these subjects, but I haven't found exactly what I'm
looking for, or maybe what I'm looking for does not exist.  Maybe someone
could help, or point me in the right direction on what could be the best
solution. Let's say I have one raq2 server called test.com . That machine
can only hold so many users, when that machine is full, I want to be able to
add another raq2 server. That server would also have to be test.com.  I want
all users to have the test.com domain name, so I would want to expand that
way, each time a server gets full, just add another one, kind of like piggy
backing.  I know you can do a cluster of servers, but all those servers
would be the mirror of one another, and not like what I had in mind.  Let me
try to discribe it better.  I want raq#1 which is test.com to have users
1,2,3,4,5 then let's say that the raq#1 get's filled with those users, I
want to add raq#2, which will also be test.com and put users 6,7,8,9,10 etc
etc.  Is this possible at all?  If so, how could it be done? How would the
router/or switch know where to send which user, let's say user1 logs on, how
would the router know to point it to raq#1 instead of raq#2.  Well, like I
said, this is probably not possible, but I'm just checking.  If anyone has
any ideas on how this could be done, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Gregg
