Future Plans for Web Server
March 24, 2009 • Additions, Computers, Servers, Site, Upgrades, Web • Comments
I have already tweeted a generic request for anyone with experience/expertise in the following areas:
- Remote data Replication
- Remote Load Balancing
- Remote Failover
The ideal setup would be to have 1 web server (Server A) at ground zero that dynamically replicates it’s files to another web server (Server B) 20-100 miles away, while simultaneously sharing the load across the two, and also providing an automatic failover to the other in case one goes down. I have never before venrutred into the realm of any of these topics, so I barely have a surface knowldge if this scenario is even possible, let alone practical. Should I configure this setup differently? I have already reserahced and found (as well as been referenced to) rsync for data replication. I will also note that all of this will be on the Mac OS X 10.5 platform (slight possibility to move to 10.5 server) using a residential ISP connection. Thanks in advanced to anyone that can help out,

Yesterday a little before 3:00pm EST this site and all associated went down for roughly 4 hours. This outage appears to be the fault of my ISP (Mediacom) as the web server, dns, dhcp, main router, etc. were all in operation when I arrived on site. After examining the logs from the various systems, I saw no system faults. No data was lost during this outage, and full functionality was restored. I know you were all disheartened by not be able to read my wonderful content!
