A friend and I are trying to grow a struggling-little-shoestring-
budget-net-business. We're trying to position ourselves so that we
can handle larger numbers of clients, but are finding that the least
impressive part is our internet service providers.
We have solid hardware running FreeBSD, Apache, and Mysql off of a
business grade DSL line. But there are times when our ISP gets
bottlenecked and even though our server is sitting on its thumbs,
waiting for requests, the clients are not getting good response time.
What I would like to do is set up N systems located in different
places with different ISPs and then set up some sort of external
monitor that can watch them and direct traffic... balance traffic not
only based on load but on performance. Is this something that LVS
can do?
I've looked at the drawings on http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/,
and they all seem to have a single point of failure on the network
drop. Additionally, they seem to route traffic through a single
location (even if there are redundant managers at that location).
Does anyone out there know (and hopefully can explain it in small
words as I am new at LVS) a way to improve our immunity to crappy net
service?
Thanks,
Gre7g.
