You might want to consider client side load balancing -- http://www.digital-web.com/articles/client_side_load_balancing/ Joe Shen wrote:
hi,
we plan to set up a web site with two web servers.
The two servers should be under the same domain name. Normally, web surfing load should be distributed between the servers. when one server fails, the other server should take all of load automatically. When fault sever recovers, load balancing should be achived automatically.There is no buget for load balancer.
we plan to use DNS to balance load between the two servers. But, it seems DNS based solution could not direct all load to one server automatically when the other is down.
Is there any way to solve problem above?
we use HP-UX with MC-Service Guard installed.
thanks in advance.
