To: hackers@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 14 Nov 1995 09:55:29 +0100 (MET) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 779 Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have read that some http servers (probably some machines at NCSA) are actually a cluster of servers attached to the same ethernet. Client transparently contact one of the servers. I would like to know how this is achieved, e.g. i) by supplying different IP translations for the same name; ii) by a clever use of ARP iii) by some other technique which I do not know Thanks Luigi ==================================================================== Luigi Rizzo Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ ====================================================================
