When you load balance, you upload content to both servers?
 

Lets say i am load balancing on 3 servers - do you upload content to all 3 servers?

How does it work, anyone here know?

Thanks

kinda,

setup a share so that all machines draw the content from one drive or machine. Understand ?

Make a seprate drive and upload there and then make the other servers get stuff from that drive? Sounds really complicated. My host is configing all the stuff (im just waiting for a quote now actually), but i was just woundering how all this worked.

What kind of load balancing do you do on your site? Software, dns or hardware?

I use a combo of all actually lol..

I don't know what setup you have in mind but what most do is make the upload utility point to a certian HD or server then the download script draws from that same area. You can hire a programmer to set this all up for under 500.00 it's fairly common.

Have one server share the content real time. Your host should be setting it up for you so you just worry about uploading and your machines will mirror real time

I use hardware based loadbalancing and basically I upload all content to one server (NFS). None of the frontend servers have any content on them - they draw this from the NFS.

i don't have ICQ I can't stand it,

you can email me at [email protected] if you want.

Something has to be done to keep the content sync'd. The best way is to upload it to one server, then rsync the content changes to the other machines.

Do not get into the NFS mounting game, as the point of load balancing is to lose a machine and no traffic is affected.

yeah... exactly what I was trying to get at... you got it
