I have a server with apache that serves pages to an intranet. Now we want to add another server application (cvs and pgsql) to another intranet. Of course we can buy a new server to do that, but i want to know if i can add a new ethernet card to the current server and force apache to serve to one intranet and cvs/pgsql to the other intranet. I think that by default, freebsd will balance the charge between both cards, is it true??
You don't need multiple NICs if it's all going on the same subnet or lan segment. And, no, there is no "balancing" anyway.
You can assign extra alias IP addresses to the one NIC (rc.conf option). Then tell apache to only use one, with a "Listen" directive in its .conf. You can also setup Apache to do "virtual hosts", so one Apache serves multiple web sites. Google for that one - there are lots of tutorials out there.
The best thing is to probably do is config multiple addresses on the NIC, then run each server process in its own jail so they're isolated from each other. There's a good WIkipedia article on FreeBSD jails I was reading just yesterday; it links to a couple good tutorials.
