Our bottleneck will be mostly bandwidth since our servers are fast enought. Frankly, I didn't get anything from your solutions (HW-Loadbalancer and SW-Loadbalancer). Are they software/hardware products? Would you please explain?
Well you have identified your bottleneck then you have the following options, from my point of view: 1.) Upgrade the bandwidth ;-) 2.) Get more lines. What is your infrastructure, is it like this?! Internet | |more then 100Mbit | +------------+ | isp-router | +------------+ | | 100mbit | +------------+ | your server| +------------+ 3.) One connect point and more *direct* answer server: +------------------+ | client | +------------------+ | +------------------+ | www.whatever.com | +------------------+ |redirect the client | to www[1-n].whatever.com -------------------------------------------- +------------------+ | client | +------------------+ | +-----------------------+ | www[1-n].whatever.com | +-----------------------+ Pros: 1.) You should use per server one line, thefore the bandwidth problem would be solved :-) 2.) Trivial loadbalancing. Cons: 1.) Maybe expensive, because you need more HW-Boxen(Webserver) 2.) The bookmarking isn't very nice, expect you make a frameset around the main site :-( 4.) Tuncate more lines from your isp, but i'am not a network guru and therfore i have only a theoretical idea i'am not sure if it work for you. Internet | |more then 100Mbit | +------------------------+ | *THE ISP ROUTER/SWITCH*| +------------------------+ |Line1 |Line2 |Line3 +----------------+ | your server | +----------------+ 5.) Ask a *competent* consulting Company, yea it't not easy to find one ;-) 6.) Due the fact that you *know* that you have a bandwidth problem the Loadbalancer solutions would not help you, i think. But i think this is OT for this list, isn't it?! regards Alex --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
