[lvs-users] Directors, single point of failure
|
|
I have a production cluster running lvs-tun with realservers distributed
geographically in order to provide high availability. I have a director
and a backup, but they exist on the same local network. Last week, there
was a failure in the fiber line connecting my directors to the internet
and the whole cluster went down as a result...
I am trying to eliminate single points of failure in my cluster. I have
redundant fiber coming in, but that still leaves me with my directors
being in the same physical location (and as such, vulnerable to natural
disasters). Is there literature available (in any form whatsoever),
describing how to setup a system with multiple directors in different
geographic locations? The ideal situation would be one in which the
complete loss of a cluster location (including one or more directors)
would have little to no effect on the operation of the cluster as a whole...
I thought about setting up rr dns to point to different directors, but
was not sure if there would be issues with that approach, and am not
sure what would happen if one of those directors went down... would half
my requests get routed to a nonexistant director for the dns ttl period?
Anyway, thanks for any info you can point me to.
