Hi All, We have two servers in different locations, We would like to share the load on this servers. This are my requirements ex: if any user checks the website www.fooo.com from California the request should go to California data center, if any user checks the website from Detroit the request should go Detroit Data center. If any other users checks the website from other location it should calculate the shortest distance/delay and reach the request to this appropriate data center. We are running LAMP applications on this servers. Please help me how to go about on this.
Hi.This does not really sound like "load balancing" in the sense it's used usually. But I'm sure it has another technical name.
Just as a suggestion : your main site (wherever) receives a HTTP request.It examines the sender's IP address, and in function of that, decides which of your 2 other servers (California or Detroit) should handle it. It returns to the caller a "301" or "302" response to the caller browser, along with the appropriate URL for the California or Detroit server. The pages on the California/Detroit servers should then be written so that once it has arrived there, the browser does not return to the original filtering server, but stays where it is.
I have a feeling that there must be more sophisticated standard solutions out there, ready for use in that kind of scenario.
