I have heard people say "oh that server is off the load balancer so you can run that expensive script on it".
What implications does a server off the load balancer have? Fundamental to answering this, I understand load balancing, but I don't know what the dynamics of a system with 5 servers (4 on the load balancer) has.
Thanks
I am tasked with setting up redundancy on two load balancers (using Haproxy & Keepalived). The idea is that we will have a load balancer managing our site but we need that load balancer to have a backup.
I am having trouble pinging a load balancer server through a VPN. I'm using keepalived for a failover to keep the load balancers redundant.
Imagine a load-balancer facing the internet, dispatching requests to several worker-servers in a local network.
Is there a way for the worker-servers to respond directly on the original socket / connection / IP or do they have to respond to the load-balancer for it to forward the response (making it the SPOF)?
If I set up a load balancer on aws that terminates ssl at the load balancer, then the requests being sent to the application server is in plain text. That has definite security implications. How do folks mitigate this implication in practice?
If alternatively, I set up https traffic between load balancer and the application servers also, what are the performance implications?
We're building a load balanced setup with two load balancers (that also terminate SSL) and several upstream servers. Both the load balancers and the upstream servers run nginx. The network on which requests are forwarded to the upstream servers cannot be trusted, hence we have to re-encrypt it after SSL termination on the load balancer.
I am going to host few servers (MS-Windows) listening on certain port to which my clients would connect. I will have to have a load balancer to distribute connections amongst these servers. I have gathered knowledge about load balancer's and have learned few things. But I am not sure if my understanding is correct. Hence, sharing it here so that someone experienced can please verify the same?
I'm setting up a load balancer with failover and I'm confused on how to properly set it up. The load-balancer is balancing web traffic to web-servers on a LAN network.
My setup is the following:
I have one incoming external IP address, that ethernet cable goes to a switch. One output from the switch is going to load_balancer_1 and the second output going to load_balancer_2.
Hello to all Server fault users,
I am new to this website but have constantly been using the mother website, stackover flow.
Well to begin with, i would like to design a load balancer for the organization i am working for.
As i am very new to this whole, idea about load balancing and networks.
I generally understand the problems that a load balancer poses for Kerberos. In fact, Microsoft's KB article outright states that it's not possible. However, this article - also on an MS site - suggests that there are possible workarounds.
Has anyone configured a system to use Kerberos and a load balancer? Did you need to use a Forefront server?
