News site http://daily.daemonnews.org/ is pointing to a Yahoo! article about a clustering system which is being bundled with FreeBSD 4.0 now. The link is below. How well does clustering work? Is it very hard to set up? How does the failover work when I have multiple machines? Do they somehow share an IP? The reason I am concerned is that I manage a website which will be getting much more traffic now that we have a large advertising budget. As the site gets much more traffic I am thinking a single FreeBSD box may not cut it and I would have to do either a dual pentium or round-robin dns much like sites like cnn.com do now. What other options do I have besides clustering? How about channeling services through a single server with NAT to route to dns, web and mail traffic which I can dynamically route as needed? Just a little over my head. Anyone have any experience here? Any insights? http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/000501/ca_polyser_1.html Brennan Stehling - web developer and sys admin projects: www.greasydaemon.com | www.onmilwaukee.com | www.sncalumni.com Microsoft: Will you get a macro virus today?
