				Admins - How Do I Do This?
			 
			If I have a server on DigitalOcean in NY and I want to expand so I have a server on the West Coast and one in Amsterdam - Which I can do on DigOcean BTW - How do I replicate the site and make sure the surfers go to the correct/closest server?... 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
			
		
		
	
	For example - EddyTheDog.com is on a NY1 server - I want it in all 3 locations and distributed - Also if one fails then of course it goes to the next..... I am sure all 3 of my regular surfers will cope if I go down for a few hours - Its more of a learning exercise... I know I can distribute traffic via SRV - But that's not really good enough..... So replication is the first issue and traffic management is the second - Where should I look for good basic info?.. To all the idiots who are going to say 'GoogleIsYourFreind' - Don't bother - I have some of the best people in the biz here, I may as well make use of them  .... |

		 Digital Ocean doesn't currently allow that, to do it, you'd have to have a server take the initial request, figure out the server you have closest to that user, then proxy them to it. Then have your sites mirrored on the other servers.

		 As far as mirroring the server is concerned:  I have not done it myself but I would guess that this could be accomplished by running mirroring software on each of the servers in a round robin fashion.

		 I should have said somewhere in there.  I am NOT a server admin.  I am just a lowly applications developer.

		 You can use GeoIP to redirect the customer 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
	How to replicate the site, depends on if its static or DB driven content. The right thing would be to build a cluster, but that would mean you needed to reinstall both sites. It would also give you a complete failover solution in case one server is down  |

		 replicatyion = done 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			ioad balancing = round robbin as location driven, a geo ip solution should do ps: get an external dns server, such as zoneedit or other.

			 Geo IP redirection, in addition to a Mirrored Cluster is your best bet.

		 Yep, geo-dns and rsync to keep servers in sync..
