Hi, It'll probably work, but this is pretty ugly.

There is a good reason why to use two apache servers, an its load balance.

Re: internet services - server farm
Hi, I don't see why it should be problematic, if each daemon accesses its own files and there are no collisions.. (you know, NFS is designed for MULTIPLE clients accessing it) - unless you mean to run two apaches at the same time using the same log file, for example? but why to do that? You can use heartbeat (http://www.linux-ha.org) to make the servers monitor each other and when one is down to do a failover and take its resources (i.e. run apache and become the web server instead of the one which just died). Note that your suggested configuration doesn't sound too good, because you have a SINGLE nfs server, which is a potential SPOF (Single Point of Failure) - if it'll die, your whole 'server farm' would die. (There are many ways - not all are good ofcourse - to have a highly available NFS server as well, try to get some info in www.linux-ha.org.

internet services - server farm
Hi All & Chag Sameah in September I read an interesting thread about "live website mirroring". The thread also spoke about method to use two parallel systems against one source of data using NAS, Mirroring, ... I want to do something similar, I want to put one fileserver and connect all other servers to him ( mail, web, backup ) using NFS. I also want all apache mail whatever logs, configuration files to be stored on the fileserver. Can it work ? or I can expect lock problems or what ever. Cheers -- Canaan Surfing Ltd.
