You give the switch the IP address of your website, plug each of your servers into a different port. The switch relays and balances the port 80 traffic to itself across the servers. I use a similar concept with a different alteon swith to do transparant HTTP cacheing. Work great. If the cache server goes down, the switch detects it instantaneously (in human terms) and our users never know (except that the absence of the cache server makes surfing slower). Works great. - Barrett > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
