Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hi ,

I have the following setup with Vesta CP on two servers:

Server1 - serving Domain1.com

Server2 - DNS server clustered from domain1.com and hosting domain2.com


Now , i have two domains , domain1.com and domain2.com. I am hosting domain1.com on server1 and domain2.com on server2. I have created A records for domain2.com to point to server2. and also DNS cluster in enabled.

Now if server1 goes down , my server2 keeps working because DNS is working because of the DNS cluster.

My question is that , is it possible to add domain1.com and domain2.com on both the server1 and server2 , so that if anyone of the server goes down , the other server automatically takes on the load.

Perhaps adding two IP addresses in the A records of the domain1.com and domain2.com will do the job?

Any help will be appreciated.

You can add two A record on two different servers, but also you need configure mysql as multi-master, sync: data folder and session store by himself

hi ,

can you please tell me how would i acheive this? I dont want MysQL , DNS is already clustered so i would only need apache to work this way

1) Adding two ip's with a comma or something to the DNS record of domain.com

or

2) two A records with same domain.com with different ip's



thanks
thanks

I'm afraid two A records won't give you redundancy, it will just split the traffic.
I think you need a LoadBalancer to do what you're looking to do.
