Building a Web Cluster with FreeSBIE (O'ReillyNet)
O'ReillyNet uses a
FreeBSD-based live CD to build a cluster. "Suppose that we need
to build a cluster of web servers to serve HTTP and HTTPS connections. Why
do we need a cluster? First of all, our web services are heavily loaded and
having one or two CPU systems and a lot of RAM is not enough
anymore. Secondly, our services need 24x7 availability and this requires an
excellent fail-over backup system, which should be completely transparent
for customers and normal web surfers. Nobody cares how many servers and
sites we have; everyone only wants to see the requested web page."
