You could set up two different views on your DNS, and then try to pick the right view depending on the geographical location of your customer. There are also systems out there that will examine the routing tables, and pick the "closest" server based on that. I think UltraMonkey will do something like that. > 4.

Geographical mapping of the IP is your best option. Lookup the IP in a database to determine the country, then set a default for timezone, language etc., but let the user override it. > 5. How to make it fail-fall-over if one of the server (web and/or > database server!) is not working? A high availability for geographically dispersed servers? Maybe you should take a look at Linux Virtual Server, I'm not certain it'll help though. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
