[Debian-sf-users] debian-sf infraestructures, LVS

[Vicente Ruiz]

Hello again: 

Since several weeks I was thinking about how to grown my debian-sf
platform if I have this necessity in the future. 

I was evaluating how to do it but finally I decided to use
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/

I have now a small testing replica of my debian-sf installation, with a
LVS load balancer in a old Pentium 133:  

  Internet--LoadBalancer--debian-sf-testing 
           | 
           --debian-sf-real 

Also I am testing QoS with HTB because I have a poor Internet
connection.

But in few days I will have 

  Internet--LoadBalancer---debian-sf-testing 
                         | 
                         --debian-sf-real 

Initially without load balancing but I will increase the number of
redundant services. This is easy for services like DNS or static http
but for the rest I need to have more knowledge about debian-sf.

Also I want to put in the LoadBalancer an Apache with static pages for
advice that the site is doing maintenance if the debian-sf-reals fail or
if I have to do some big upgrade inside.

But reading about who uses LVS: 
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/deployment.html
I found that sourceforge.net uses it. Well I think is a good choice.

Any comments?, any similar experiences?

BR,


Vicente
PD: Sorry again for my english...
