We just setup Coyote Point load balancers for a new client upon his request. I would like to hear some reviews of what poeple think about these devices. Has anyone used them? Has anyone set two of them up in a redudant manner?
Don't you know it, we've had a Coyote Point 350 on standby that had already run out of support and was EOL before we had a chance to use it. It was running one low traffic website that never received scrutiny of it's web logs.
Well, earlier this month we threw it in to production, when it's predecessor's hard drive failed. Thought everything was groovy until we looked at the log files.
CP350 is 192.168.1.100. Packets that make their way to the servers (IIS 5 and IIS 6) are having the IP address listed as the load balancer, rather than the client IP address.
Logs look similar to the following, showing two different remote users accessing the site.

I've gone through the docs and the user interface a number of times, and I'm missing the setting that would fix this. Probably a terminology phrase that I'm missing. Even checked the <eqadmin> at the root, just in case.
I'm just curious, how many around here use load balancers in front of their webservers, and what kind of traffic do you push with them? (What kind of load balancer as well) Any other specifics would be nice as well.
We are looking for some experiences and suggestions for a good mid-level hardware load balancing solution for http traffic.
We've started looking at the Coyote Point E350GX, but would like some other suggestions from those of you that have direct experience with this or other platforms.
Two requirements are that the devices *must* support some type of HA / failover configuration, and be able to handle a minimum of 750+ Mbps of traffic.
I was thinking of using LVM, but started looking at some other solutions. I would like to use a virtual appliance if possible as I'm almost tapped on power in my colo space.
Has anyone used the zeus load balancing product? Yeah or Nah?
I just purchased a hardware load balancer for redundency. I just wanted to ask, with the introduction of "Grid" AppLogic OS, will hardware load balancers now become obsolete? Especially if they cost about $25k and are still a single point of failure? Will this new software have an impact on the necessity for dual + quad cpu servers?
I have my domain name pointed to a VPS 1. I want its subdomain (for example sub.domain.com) to be pointed to another VPS 2.
So that if someone visits www.domain.com the php files are delivered from VPS1 and if some visits sub.domain.com then php files are delivered from VPS2.
I need to keep my VPS1 rock solid and extremely secure by keeping lowest possible php files and on low load too and want another VPS for online demo and testing (high load and cluttered with php files). I cannot use another domain (for second vps) as the sub.domain.com pages are already indexed on google and changing domain means will have to again reindex them and rank them in google.
in VPS 2 : im set DNS in Kloxo => sub.site.com when i click in kloxo, Ipaddress /configur Domain
when i select sub domain ( sub.site.com )
show this error :
Alert: To map an IP to a domain, the domain must ping to the same IP, otherwise, the domain will stop working. The domain you are trying to map this IP to, doesn't resolve back to the IP, and so it cannot be set as the default domain for the IP.
Now,I would like to create an alias/sub-domain for this URL. For example: [url]-> [url]
[url]-> [url]
how this can be done? Do I have to create a subdomain for this? But when I try to create a subdomain throught the OLM control panel, it asks me for the real path i.e. '/var/www/html/subdomain_folder' which I don't have in this case. Secondly, can this be done without modifying any information in the DNS? Changing DNS costs be $5/change from OLM
Can anyone recommend a well-established VPS provider with facilities at a major EU connection point, preferably TheNetherlands? I need a small account for secondary DNS and MX, plus some caching experimentation. Might turn into an unmetered dedicated mega-server at the same location if things go as planned, so if you only have experience with dedi or colo at a certain host, feel free to chime in.
I'm already a colo-host and a cPanel distributor myself, so I don't need management or a control panel, just a minimal-install CentOS 5 VPS. (I'll be installing cPanel DNSonly) Here's the kicker though, like most USians, I only speak English (and some would say badly), so the host has to speak at least enough to get the account set up. (preferably has a site in English). The real deal-breaker is that they MUST have their own merchant account and accept credit cards for recurring billing. I will not use Paypal, Moneybookers, or any other 3rd-party processor that requires a registration or manual payments. That almost always indicates an amateur operation in someone's basement. Looking for something along the lines of ThePlanet, but in Amsterdam. (AmsterNet? PlanetDam? )
I've been with serverpoint.com for over a year now and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Last year I negotiated an excellent price for a dedicated box with serverpoint via PM. They delivered my server promptly and even upgraded my CPU since they were out of stock on the one I had ordered. The few times I’ve had to call support (due to issues on my end) they’ve been prompt and professional.
My only real complaint is I can’t setup automatic bill pay online. They want my to send a photocopy of my CC and a photo ID, which I’m leery of.
I suppose this is a boring review, but in and ideal world isn’t that the way it should be? Who wants a lot of drama with a host provider?
If I create subdomain to point to a different folder on a different server, can I still keep the original URL?
I'm a new member so cannot post links as example but if subdomain from link A points to link B, can it still keep the URL of the subdomain from link A?
I have my myname.com and I'd like to forward home.myname.com to my home server IP.
I'm running Linux and Apache on both the server I lease (that has myname.com set up on) and on my home server (hopefully home.myname.com).
So far I've tried URL rewriting in .htaccess, which works, but it fowards to my IP in the browser's address bar- Id like to keep the address bar as home.myname.com.
I assume I have to modify the DNS zone for myname.com right?
I wanted to point my MX record from my registrar's dns to a hosted account that is controlled by cPanel, but inside cPanel I don't see a unique MX record, it just lists my domain name. Is this possible with cPanel? I have done this before with H-Sphere.
I am just parking my domain and using my registrar's nameservers and wanted to just add in the MX record for email.
Under namecheap I point this domain using nameserver ns1.*** and ns2.***
Now I must make this:
ms1.domain.com must point to server A ms2.domain.com must point to server B
How I can set this at best?
Setting must be maked on namecheap (manage dns under namecheap) OR setting must be maked on WHM?*
* x example: www.domain.com point to server A into server A we must define ms1.domain.com to use local AND must define ms2.domain.com to point external to secon server (B)
We are trying to implement a reseller model shopping website for our resellers. The customized shopping website for the reseller will be hosted on our website, say: abc.xyz.com
We want our resellers to load abc.xyz.com from their own sub domain itself, like: shopping.abc.com
I know that this can be done using a URL redirection, but is there any way that shopping.abc.com will load the contents from abc.xyz.com and still keep the URL unchanged in the address bar ? I'm not referring to URL masking using iframes and note that xyz.com and abc.com are on different servers. Does anyone know whether this is technically feasible?
i have a reseller plan with ahost.com for my paid hosting, I want to setup a account with cheaphost.com for free accounts.
My main domain is mydomain.com and i want this to point to the reseller account on ahost.com, i want the free site to be free.mydomain.com and point to the reseller account on cheaphost.com
Is this possible? If so.. how would i go about setting this up? My domain registrar is godaddy.com
-Part 1- I have a website with a doman point it (as usual) when you go to domain1.com this show you /
I need point a second domain to /domains/domain2/ using alias (the url show domain2.com but if I go to domain1.com/domains/domain2/ this render the same content)
-Part 2- Now I need point any other domains request this server or this ip to /domains/unknowndomain/ then if you go to domain3.com or domainX.com show this domain in the url bar but render domain1.com/domains/unknowndomain/
I've been having trouble with my VPS for a while now. In the QoS alerts page in Virtuozzo it seems to be a problem with numtcpsock and tcprcvbuf, mainly numtcpsock.

Anyone know of some good server load testers ( commercial )?
Im not looking for application based load testing, I need real web server load testing... need to see how much traffic this one site can take before it cries.
