high availability web server
Hey guys,
I'd love to set up a failover setup for my websites and would love to hear, how you would
do something like this.
I have to virtualization capable servers, one located in France and one located in a Collocation close to Dusseldorf in Germany.
My setup at the moment is a simple apache, mysql, php one hosting a few forums and online shops. Regarding the online shops the MySQL thing needs to be master <-> master, which I already set up for testing.
I have a icinga monitoring server which would be able to change the DNS records in case of failure.
How would you synchronize the files ? Thought about unison or drbd ? How stable could such a setup be and how often would I need to rebuild the synchronization by hand?
Thanks in advance
