Subject: [cobalt-users] Load Balancing /
Multiplexing / Redundancy of CobaltServers. 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
