Dear Florin,
If it does'nt fail then the server simply gets the data from the other
server and places it in its own cache. Example
User Request for Web Addres -> Server 1
Server 1 peered with Server 2
Server 1 does not have information and asks Server 2. Server 2 has
information and so passes it back to Server 1. Server 1 then has
information cached and also passes it on to user.
Server 1 does not have information and asks Server 2. Server 2 reply's
that it does not have information. Server 1 goes out and gets
information from web caches it and passes it back to user.
Server 1 has information cached and so just passes it back to user.
User Request for Web Addres -> Server 2
Server 2 peered with Server 1
Server 2 does not have information and asks Server 1. Server 1 has
information and so passes it back to Server 2. Server 2 then has
information cached and also passes it on to user.
Server 2 does not have information and asks Server 1. Server 1 reply's
that it does not have information. Server 2 goes out and gets
information from web caches it and passes it back to user.
Server 2 has information cached and so just passes it back to user.
So you would want each server to peer with the other. If you lose a
server then the server that is still up will just go direct to the web
as it could not contact the other server. Hope this makes sense.
Yours sincerely
