Given a small, globally routable netblock to be used for front-end web servers, and a strong aversion for using DNS for any type of load balancing, would it be reasonable to build two identical servers farms with the same public IP addresses and rely on the BGP sessions with the hosing providers to remove one advertisement in the event of a problem? I've been looking at ways to ensure that the webservers are always available, short of building a network connecting hosting facilities.
Dude, saying things like that on this group is likely to get you executed. Building a discontigious AS isn't the answer.
i missed the part where he said discontiguous as. please point it out to us.
'short of building a network connecting hosting facilities' and numbering the servers with the sames addresses. Maybe I misunderstood. Its seems to me that a better way to do it would be to use some product that goes global load balancing. later- devin
