We have many servers. In order to accurately track an IP across the system all timestamps must agree relative to each other.
How do I generate, preferably from a single desktop WIN or LINUX station, a call simultaneously [at least within a sec] to all our servers so that log entries are generated?
If the call can't be simultaneous, can we make 10 close-to-simultaneous calls to all servers, the server order changed, 10 more such calls made, rotate and repeat till each server has occupied each call position? We, then,should be able to get the above access or error log lines [depending upon which is the best call for this purpose?], throw out the worst two cases on each server [DNS lookup, etc. variations and delays] and from the surviving data form a correction to server timestamps such that they're all normalized.
This should allow us to accurately track the order in which pages are served from the various servers.
Does this procedure seem valid? Are any others recommended?
How to make simultaneous multiple calls, or at least the fastest call to multiple servers?
Anyone's suggestions would be appreciated.
