Newbie: Hosting setup.

[caesarkim]

I have a site that needs to be hosted. but I am trying to make it clustered environment with one machine.

so the url is going to be something like,

192.168.1.100:81
192.168.1.100:82

So i want any incoming request to go to either one of them.

Can anybody give me some instrunction to do it?

Thank you.

A clustered environment is used for fault tolerance and involves 2 or more machines. Running a clustered environment on one machine is not fault tolerant (or even possible!).

isn't it doable with 2 different static ip addresses?

something like this?

65.232.22.55:81
65.232.22.55:82

is there any way to do configuration in DNS or something?

Aern't they differant IP's?

 

[Serbtastic]

65.232.22.55:81
65.232.22.55:82

Are the same IP address, on different ports. This would not be a clustered environment.

What exactly are you hoping to accomplish?

Let's start with what you are trying to do. If one machine goes down with you're setup, you're done. Why not put another machine online?

The most you are protecting is if your web service (because you are running 2 instances on the same machine, 'cause it has the same ip address). So you have to ask yourself is it more likely the web process (instance) is going down or the machine itself?

Most clustering environments have a load balancer in the front end to detect the availablity of service. I believe you can also use a reverse proxy on the front end to achieve the same result.
