Hello list! Here's my scenario:
Currently there is a server performing 2 functions; one runs on, let's say, port 2000, and another one runs on port 3000. Due to some necessary changes, especially the need to (1) provide more resource for a function, and (2) delegate management of the functions to different teams, we are going to split the server into two. The problem is: Many users -- spread among 80+ branches throughout the country -- access the server using IP Address instead of DNS name. So, my plan was to leave port 2000's application on the original server, implement port 3000's application on a new server, and have all access to port 3000 of the original server to be redirected to same port on the new server. I can implement this using iptables SNAT & DNAT ... or I can use HA-Proxy. Can anyone provide some benefit / drawback analysis on either solution? Thank you very much! -- FdS Pandu E Poluan ~ IT Optimizer ~ • LOPSA Member #15248 • Blog : http://pepoluan.tumblr.com • Linked-In : http://id.linkedin.com/in/pepoluan
