I Think so :)
I think I need 2 LVS configurations because I will not be able to have the
two apache clusters listen for both A & B.com (different clients.) However,
I wanted to make sure I couldn't use the same load balancing infrastructure
(2 LVS Servers rather then 4.)
I understand that if I virtual host on apache I only need one LVS pair.
Yeah, pretty much. However, one lvs director should be able to handle
load balancing/fallover for both sites, if they have unique ip addrs.
You also have other options:
- ip or name based virtual hosting with apache
- running multiple instances of apache, each listening on a different ip
address. you can chroot jail each process to help partition the clients
out.
(combine either of these with chroot jail ssh/ftp/whatever access, and
clients won't be able to see anything you don't want them to, while
still giving them custom apache builds/instances. if the client needs
to be able start/restart/HUP apache though, you'd have to give them sudo
access (so it can bind to ports 80 and 443).)
- something like linux-vserver to slice each realserver up across the
websites. you can do similar things in other OSs.
