Ok, you just read the text was sent to list, but not the documentation? https://code.google.com/p/apache2-ssloffload-and-loadbalance/ :) On 02/07/2011 12:04 AM, Liam O'Boyle wrote:
Hi Margus, Yes, from your description "there 2 Apache instances running on the same machine" I took it that these were running on the same machine. Actually, I had assumed you were running ssl termination + load balancer + destination web server all on the same box, and I was wondering what the point was :) If you are actually putting the different parts on different machines, then this sounds fine. The best configuration will depend on the load in the different parts of your system. Liam On Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 8:35 AM, Margus Pärt<margus@xxxxxxxx> wrote:Hello! Thank you for your response! True, the load would be twice as high, but my tests showed, that even with that setup, in front of multiple webservers (with a simple php page) which load with tests went to sky high turing load tests, one balancer in Vmware with this config and 512MB RAM& one 1Ghz proccessor was enough and it's load was between 4-12. So, I think that load should not be issue, also its possible to add more than one SSL offloader and balancer with same configuration. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but by any change, did you think, that my applications are on the same server also? Or did you suggest, that I should have SSL terminating and balancing on separate machines?

If you're doing them all on one machine, it's actually worse, as now you have all the same work being done on one machine, but you have the overhead of multiple apache instances and a more complex setup as well.

Basically there 2 Apache instances running on the same machine with different configurations, one for SSL offload, other for balancing - client -> SSL offload -> Balancer -> backend server. If anyone would give feedback, just in form: "I like it" or "it's useless", I'd be glad. More detailed and constructive feedback would be even more appreciated.
