Hi there,
My boss has just asked me whether it would be possible to set up an LVS
system as follows:
* Two directors (failing over to each other) with a web server on each
director;
* Only the web server on the active director is running;
* The active web server (active director) serves a proxy autoconfig script
only, and no other pages.
The idea would be to provide some redundancy to our proxy autoconfig
service. I guess I'd start up the web server on each director when that
director becomes the active director, and cron a job every minute to shut
the web server down if the director wasn't the active director. The
floating IP would be the advertised (DNSed) proxy autoconfig service. I
guess I'd cron iptables rule additions/deletions similar to
starting/stopping the web servers.
Anyone see any problems/pitfalls, or have any ideas, about this?
Thanks in advance,
Guy.
