With our set up, we can do that in a slightly round-about way. We’ve got 2 mid-tier servers and 2 AR servers. They both behind a load balancer.
midtier.foo.bar (lb) midtier1.foo.bar midtier2.foo.bar ars.foo.bar (lb) ars1.foo.bar (first server in group) ars2.foo.bar (second server in group) We have the load balancer for ars.foo.bar configured so that traffic from midter1 prefers to go to ars1, and traffic from midtier2 prefers to go to ars2. I can get to whichever backend server I want by hitting the appropriate midtier server directly. When I don’t care which backend server I get (most of the time), I go to the midtier.foo.bar alias and let the load balancer decide. Note that the ars.foo.bar load balancer is configured to fail over to the active server in the case that one of the backend servers is down. So, it prefers a specific server based on the mid-tier server it’s coming from when everything is operating normally, but will failover as appropriate when necessary. Does that make sense? Probably not what you’re looking for, but it’s an option. Lyle From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Jose Huerta Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 2:22 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Configuring Mid-tier for a server group ** Hi listers, I'm with ARS and midtier 7.5. I have two ARS servers named: a1.contoso.es<http://a1.contoso.es> a2.contoso.es<http://a2.contoso.es> balanced both under address ars.contoso.es<http://ars.contoso.es> I have mid-tier configured only with server ars.contoso.es<http://ars.contoso.es>. But sometimes I want to access to one specific server, for instance when setting ARS Server settings. I currently do it using the user tool. But I want to allow to select it through mid-tier. If I allow the three addresses as valid ARS servers at the mid-tier, I see the entry points lists at Home Page triplicated. What I want is to always work with ars.contoso.es<http://ars.contoso.es>, but if user changes the URL, specifying the name of a real server, then connect directly to this server. Is this possible? How can you do it with versions 7.6.04 and beyond if no user tool is provided? Jose M.
