some setup recommendations as I feel I have outgrown my current server.
I have two websites:
#1 is a busy vBulletin based forum with 42,000 members.
#2 is a website with Wordpress and Vbulletin installed (though the forum is nowhere near as busy as the first site) and gets roughly 2000 uniques a day.
When site #2 gets a good surge of visitors from offline media or a large site, site #1 will die first with the "mysql error: too many connections" error and site #2 will take a very very long time to load.
For every other day, the load is quite low, nearly always under 1.50.
The current server that both sites reside on has the following specs:

I have a VPS account with WHM/Cpanel console access. I have three domains that I am trying to setup. Within WHM I have setup three different accounts, one for each domain. I am able to login to the cPanel for all three accounts. This also created a new web directory for each domain in /home/domain_name/public_html/. I have placed my default index.php in all three public_html with the same permissions. But only 1 domain is working the other two are not. What am I missing? I have confirmed that all three have the correct DNS servers with godaddy and I can do an nslookup on all three. My provider told me to share the IP so that is what I am configured as..
I work for an ISP providing service to several thousand customers...
We are now taking on multi-millions of emails everyday (sometimes over a billion) (we purchased a couple of smaller ISPs and moved them to our mailserver)
Since the move from their old servers to the new... our uptime on our pop3/smtp server ran about 11... we had to institute a mail filtering server... it was getting around 2500 concurrent connections to the server and running an even higher uptime, and delaying emails around 8 minutes per message!
Our POP3/SMTP server is Redhat 9 (I know its old, but it still runs good) (Dual Xeon 2.8 HT 2 GB RAM NO RAID)... our frontend filtering server is FreeBSD (Dual Xeon 3.06 2 GB RAM RAID5)
Needless to say our current setup cannot handle the amount of email being processed... We need to implement amavisd back into the filtering equation so that spamassassin will filter mail based on the user preferences and delivered to procmail to our POP3/SMTP server so that it has no load basically...
SO what I want to do is this (please correct anywhere im going wrong):
I want to have a main incoming mail processing server (does RBL rejects and anything left over it will pass on to another server)
But the kicker is, I want the mail processing server to do this (we will call it mx1.troubledisp.com):
Incoming Mail->mx1.troubledisp.com
mx1.troubledisp.com->mx2.troubledisp.com (But I want 3 servers in the middle, mx2, mx3,mx4)
Basically I want one message to go to one server, one to go to another, and so on... So basically EVERY message that comes in will go to a different mx server, not just loading up 1 server until it cant process anymore....
Then after it is processed it needs to go to the original mail.troubledisp.com
I work in a DC and am looking for a better way to deal with clients who have multiple servers hosted with us.
Heres the scenario. Client buys a server or two at the beginning, with a HW firewall or they are clustered together and require their own switch and down the road, they like what we do and want to buy more servers.
However, we've been selling other servers and the only way we would be able to accommodate them would be to run a cross connect to another cab with their new server in it. Hopefully you can see where I am going with this.
This can keep happening multiple times and with multiple clients. and eventually you can end up with spider web of cable everywhere .
My thought of doing it right but more work would be to schedule down time with a client and migrate all the HW to a new cabinet where they can grow.
Weve also been tossing around ideas like getting projected growth from clients and setting aside space for them to having dedicated cluster cabinets.
I currently have 2 web servers both running the cPanel Control Panel.
Out of the two servers only one is used and the other is just used currently to test scripts. It has come to a stage with the website capacity that I now require both servers to run in con-junction with each other to spread the load.
Questions:
1) There is a file upload service, How would you go about networking both the servers to allow remote removal / uploading of files to different servers. Eg, If user is on server 1 and files are stored on server 2. Also deletion of files etc - The website is programmed mainly in PHP.
2) File updating - The website is constantly being updated and therefore both servers will need the PHP files to be in sync. How would you go about doing this?
Both servers are at the same Data Center location.
We are looking for KVM/IP solution for multiple server. Where we can add the users remotely and give temporary access to the server owners. Once they are done we remove them from access list. So it can be used by someone else.
Anyone know for KVM/IP solution with kvm switch which can solve our purpose of KVM.
I currently have two servers, one is rhel 5 with cpanel, the other is windows 2003 with plesk 8.4
Each server wants you to setup a Hostname... one that is FQDN but not being hosted on that server so I setup a generic dns domain as follows...
SERVERCODNS.COM
Now for the hostname I setup both servers to be use this domain but different prefix... so...
SERVER1.SERVERCODNS.COM SERVER2.SERVERCODNS.COM
Is this ok? Will I have problems?
My cpanel continues sending me emails nightly that my DNS is routing to another ip?
which bring sup my next question... Is is ok to NS1.SERVERCODNS.COM, NS2.SERVERCODNS.COM for say the RHEL server and then DNS1.SERVERCODNS.COM and DNS2.SERVERCODNS.COM for say the windows? Is this going to cause problems?
Whats the difference or proper procedure for setting up DNS with my registrar (*ENOM) vs in the control panels they have Nameserver tools?
Has anyway come up with a way to have several servers connected to one external CD-ROM on a USB Hub/network? This could allow a few external CD-DRIVES to handle a whole rack and the possibility of setting the bios via KVM/IP on a server to boot from CD, then it would boot from the CD tied in on the USB "network". Maybe using a USB hub? Or would this cause possible security issues having multiple servers tied in via USB ports?
I would love to have the ability to have maybe 3 or 4 CD-ROMs tied into multiple servers for OS installs remotely without having to actually go into the DC for this. You could put the CD-ROMs on your APC reboot and just turn on the one you need and set the bios to boot from CD (ie: one drive could have CentOS, one could have Windows, etc) I'd be interested in some ways people have done this or what they use.
I have a firebox firewall and two servers. I don't one machine to see the other one the network. The servers are for two different clients. However I would like to be able to access a backup folder on Server 2 from Server 1. What is the best setup for this?

What is the best way to run one command on multiple servers. Security isnt too much of an issue as I'll be doing a master/slave type setup, with the master being a system in the office with no ext access.
I'm thinking pssh is going to be quick and easy, what do you use?
I have 2x servers with the following os/control panels: 1x Windows Server 2008 running Plesk 9.2 1x Centos 5.3 running cPanel/WHM
What I wish to do is to point all of my domains to the nameservers: ns1.domain.com ns2.domain.com
But, the domains hosted could be on either of the boxes above (because some sites are ASP.NET and others PHP).
Each of the above machines are running BIND and I have not yet setup nameservers on either of them. How should I proceed with this?
In addition (for arguments sake), if I then add additional servers how would I then achieve the same?
If there's already stuff around on the forum (I've done a search but found nothing specified to my issue of running a windows and linux box with completely different control panels) please point me in the right direction.
A website I am involved with may soon hit a problem due image uploading being stored on only one server. We are unable to find a realistic solution which would allow us to upload images from 1 central location.
The website is programmed in PHP and is on a standalone web-server - currently the images are uploaded to the same directory as the website however we are looking to move the images to another server for scalability.
Is it possible at all to upload using a directory link of some kind, eg, the directory would be /serverip/path/to/images which you would upload to? Or any other realistic approaches that you know off.
Is it possible to combine multiple servers via "Configure Cluster"? Will the hosting domains use same ns1.mydomain and ns2.mydomain.com if one server is located in UK and second is in USA Datacenter. Can somebody provide me information with explanation?
I run a vbulletin based web forum ([url] and everything is going quite smoothly. We are currently in the process of getting a partnership with a supplement store.
Basically, our goal is to have our own store for Lean Bulk, but it will be run by a different company, and will be on their server.
Soo, the store database and custom script will be staying on their server, but my forums will be staying on my server. What I want is for the store to be located at [url]or [url]
Either one works for me. However, the tech guy that runs all the stuff for the store, is trying to tell me that this is "impossible." While it might be somewhat difficult, I have a hard time believing anything is really impossible.
The tech says the only thing we can do is have the store located at:
[url]
Personally, I think this looks unprofessional, and would rather stay away from this solution.
I have 5 servers, 2 running CentOS and Apache, 3 running Windows Server 2003 and IIS. Each server has it's own dedicated IP address, so I can access each site by going to [url]
Would I would like to be able to do is set each of these servers up with a subdomain on my domain.com. So I would have [url]going to one server, [url]going to another server, etc.
I logged into GoDaddy's Domain Manager. However, it appears that the only form of subdomains they have is redirection. So while I can create server1.domain.com, it merely redirects to [url]
I can mask the forward, but this creates problems with the login on the servers because they use cookies. In addition, the address always appears as [url], it doesn't have the "index.html" or "/login/login.aspx" when
I click links. The actual links appear as "[url] and not "[url]
Is there anything I can do? I want the subdomains to point to a particular IP address, not redirect.
I have a server with plesk8 installed. I forsee a time when I shall need either to move to a new bigger server or to add a new bigger server to what I already have.
Problem is, my isp says that PLESK will only work on single server set-ups and can't work in a multi-server environment.

I was talking to my host the other day about configuring multiple servers as a private LAN. I was wondering if anyone has successfully set up a configuration of using separate servers for each task for shared hosting accounts. I.E. Having certain servers as web servers and others dedicated as MySQL servers, e-commerce servers, mail servers etc.
Does anyone do this? I can see it boosting performance.
how to make it so if the server that hosts my website receives too much traffic it will go to a mirrored copy of my website on another server? I want to make sure that it doesn't go down in the event of a big boost in visitors.
Lets say for example I have 10 servers independent of each other. I want to be able to have only 2 Nameservers, NS1 and NS2 where all the domains should resolve to and then they should be handed off to one of the 10 servers. I dont want to have 20 Nameservers for example NS1 thru NS20 for all 10 servers. That would also be a waste of IP addresses.
I have a few murky solutions in mind. I would appreciate if someone would shed some light on the issue,
I'm planning host multiple game servers on a single machine. I'm going to configure my own machine for this purpose. I'm uncertain on how powerful should I build my machine.
I'm going to host resource demanding games like Battlefield 2 and Armed Assault. Both of the mentioned games has a dedicated server application that requires roughly 2ghz of CPU power and 1GB to 2GB of RAM (depending on connected users) to run on.
Base on the above requirements, I'm going to put together a machine with 2 dual core Opteron or Xeon running at 2ghz and 8GB of RAM. The machine is going run 4 virtual servers with the game server application running on them. My configuration uses basic division to calculated the required CPU and RAM on my custom configured machine. Is this a practical approach?
Has anyone tried anything similar with xen? I'm worry about any performance impact that might happen due to overhead or shared cpu & ram cycle latency as game server demands real time performance.
I'm though about doing this because it's cheaper to rent a 1U rack space running 4 game servers than renting 4Us for the same purpose. Care to share experience or thoughts on this subject?
Is there an issuer that issues wildcard SSL certificate which can be used on multiple servers under the same domain name (like server1.domain, server2.domain, server3.domain...etc)?
