SV: Re: [users@httpd] Distributed Web Server

[Danesh Daroui <danielmysql@xxxxxxxx>]

Well, I think the bottleneck in our server will be mostly bandwidth. However we are using a 100 Mbits/s internet connection, but we are still worry what would happend if number of users will grow enormously. I have gathered some information like using DC-Apache module which is Distributied Cooperative Apache, but in that case the main server will send request to cooperative servers when the it is overloaded by requests. In that case, again, the main server can be a bottleneck, while it has to decide when and where requets should be sent. Do you think it may work or any better suggestion and/or solution?

Setting up a round-robin DNS for the servers is sort of almost exactly like a
quick clustering patch.

Are you sure it is the apache server that is not keeping up though? You sure it
isn't a bandwidth limitation?
