I was recently given the task of creating a web service for a set of web applications on FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE. We will have one firewall, two web servers, and one database server, all of which will be running FreeBSD. Note, I was not given a budget for additional hardware, so I want to use only the resources I already have. The web service requires the use of virtual hosting, so I am looking for ideas or links (books, articles, websites) on how to best set this up. The goal is for the firewall to pass a client to one of the two web servers. Each web server will be running Apache with IP-based virtual hosting. How is this done? Do I create one interface alias for each IP address (used in virtual hosting) on the firewall? Again, any links to books, articles, or sites would be greatly appreciated. As this is my first foray into this type of configuration I am something of a newbie. I did do a search on freebsd-isp, but keywords such as "web server," "configuring," and "firewall configuration" didn't give me what I had hoped to find. I am also looking for information on HA/load balancing for a web service that is FreeBSD based. Links to this information are welcome as well. :) Regards, Dustin --- Dustin Puryear <dpuryear@usa.net> http://members.telocity.com/~dpuryear In the beginning the Universe was created.
