Load Balancing

[adamsh]

Hi Guys,

I have recently taken over the running of our forums and am not sure if they are setup for load balancing.

Here is how its setup.

1 x dedicated mysql server (quad xeon)
3 x web servers (3.2 dual xeons).

They are connected via an internal switch and communicate with the database through this.

The web servers are running apache2 and php5, the DNS zone file for the domain they are on looks like this.

(not sure why these are there, I think scripts use them)

From what I have seen, forums.mydomain.com just randomly puts people on a server. From your collective experiance, is there a decent load balancer that works with apache2 and Vbulletin?

Thanks in advance.

looks like round robin dns load balancing ?

probably better to ask at webhostingtalk.com for all the available load balancing options out there - as they should work with vB and apache2.
