Infoview URL

[system]

If there are two web servers and with different server host names there are a couple of ways to create a single Website name for access to both these servers.

1. Add a Load Balancer such as a Cisco CSS Router which will front end both these server and provide site address masking , load balancing and failover for the two web servers. More Information on this available in the “Architecture and Sizing” post on the BOB Forum - Downloads section.

2. A simpler solution would be to Create a Web site on one of the web server with a static IP address and include a alternate round robin redirection script (between the two servers )which access this website . The limitation of this approach is that you lose failover funcitonality and get basic load balancing .
