Okay guys i'll be streaming flv videos from my dedicated server, but wanted to create a load balancing solution, by limiting bandwidth per user and maybe 4 vps setup on this 1 dedicated server.. So the system will seem like multiple servers when really there is only 1 server
Example:
1. The server will be connected to a 100mbps connection, With 5 ips added to the sever
2. The server specs is a (quad core phantom) with 4gb of ram..
3. The server will have (4 x 2tb hard disk)
My Goal:
1. maybe have the server with 4 vps accounts each with it's own ip
2. maybe mount each of the 4x 2tb hard disk, for each vps account (account 1= 2tb hard disk) (account 2= 2tb hard disk) etc..
3. have each vps account with it's own sub-domain ([login to view URL]) ([login to view URL] ([login to view URL]) etc..
4. Each vps has a bandwidth cap (so only allow 3mbps download cap)
5. same flv files will be located on all the (hard drives)
So when our website sends a request for the flv file, it will stream from one of the 4 vps accounts (4 subdomain sites) , that way if 1 of the vps accounts is slower it will send a request to the next available ip (subdomain site)
This isn't the exact solution, but i would need something of this nature, but need help setting it up..
Let me know your ideas..
Thanks much: Andrew
Hi, I have been working on clustering and server monitoring for over a couple of years. I have read the project and we can do several improvements on your idea. The servers could be load balanced easily with a bit of scripting and Apache support. Well, how about having three load balancing(LB) servers and use the fourth one as a NAS for centralized access of data? It would be way better than having the same FLVs on the local hard drives of the LB servers. You could the same discs with software RAID in the dedicated NAS. I can easily set that up for you as a bonus as I kind of interested in this.
