This is kind of general in scope, but just want to see if it's possible or done currently...
Let's say you have a site that will get traffic from both the US and the UK. What would be the best method for making sure that a browse request from the US would pull up the site located at a host in the US, and the same for the UK browsers and directing that traffic to a host located in the UK? This would be to avoid the lag time of traffic having to cross the pond. If you have a clustered Apache environment, would this kind of thing be handled automagically? Would all traffic pass through a single DNS server, and based on the IP information send the request onward to it's respective geographic locale? If so, then where should the DNS server reside? This side or that side or both? If you registered mysite.co.us along with mysite.co.uk, is it possible to decipher where to send the traffic based on the requestor's IP or locale? Hope the above makes sense to someone. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive http://marc.info/?l=jaxlug-list&r=1&w=2 RSS Feed http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.xml Unsubscribe [email protected]
