Siva, You have three real options. 1 - Use a smart load balancer that can send traffic smartly to an available node with algorithms to manage things properly. 2 - Use DNS 'Round Robin' type of configuration....but this would only work in the App, because the Web needs what's called 'session affinity, or sticky bits' to work properly 3 - Have separate 'names' for the separate servers, and access them individually.
>From a load balancer perspective, you can use something as simple as an Apache server to do the load balancing...it's not as quick as hardware load balancing, but it IS load balancing...I don't have any experience with setup and configuration of one, but I imagine it's not exceedingly difficult :) On Wed, Mar 12, 2014 at 8:29 AM, Sivarama Velicheti <vsivar...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Group, > > We have a server group environment but not leveraging load > balancing capabilities.
