Hi there, Can I set different DNS for one domain. for example www.example.com ns1.netfirms.com ns2.netfirms.com ns3.servage.com ns4.servage.com So if I can, than what I need to do? I have to upload my website files to both hosting providers and if one server overloads, than other will continue to work. Maybe something else?
@attila123 is right, it won't work the way you describe it. I wrote a low cost load distribution tutorial on this at my B2B Website Profits blog. However, if you want "Load Balancing" you'll need a specialized device like an F5 BigIP LTM, Apache Reverse Proxy, or one of the other appliances available. For some of my static sites I'm just looking for the basic monitoring and IP fail over described in my article. You'll have DNS configured in a way that monitors IP addresses (either your software or a service) then adjusts DNS according to which site is available. Check out my tutorial for details at http://b2bwebsiteprofits.com/2008/12/low_cost_load_distribution_for.php Best, Justin
for a static site ( or where u can export static copies on different servers ) u cud try the roundrobin dns.. however it offers no load balancing.. just it will confuse ur site statz
To use load balancer, you will need two separate dedicated servers. You can not use to shared hosting server for load balancer. Kailash
