Hello I'm a really newbie of webserver and what is all about settings etc.. What I am about to do is an application so I can monitor some settings online on the web. For that I have created an little standalone application running on an different server that gets all info about current settings. Why I want to have two different servers is because I dont want to "kill" my web server with to much traffic. Now to my question lets say a visitor first enter page A on webserver A can I then redirect current user (after getting information about the user) and the redirect him/her to another server with given parameters to another page on another webserver (other ip addres)? 1) Visitor enters page A on web server A 2) Webserver A gets information about the user, and redirects to another server (web server B that is using my stand alone application) with given parameters about the user. 3) Then the user will poll information from webserver B. I hope you understand what I want to achieve. Regards/D_S
What settings are you gathering ? Things like user-agent, screen resolutions , .. ? You don't need a seperate server for that. Please supply more details.
Yes, it's possible, by sending your values through the query. You can redirect from one server to another another server all you want. For example... User logs into server a, www.serverA.com, server A will then do a redirect to server in the form of, www.serverB.com?username=foo.
