Re: load balancing with php/apache?

We've used local director in the past, as well as the 'f5' product (big IP? - I forgot the company name). Maybe it's 'big ip' from f5. Shows you how much we think about it - it just does it's job. As others pointed out, you can go with a software version under Linux, and I think W2k enterprise has some type of load balancer available for it too. All a load balancer will do is route requests to different web servers - what the web servers do with the requests (run ASP, PHP, Perl, CF, etc.) is entirely irrelevant to the load balancing situation. The 'enterprise' issue with respect to PHP is a bit of a red herring, IMO. VBScript doesn't do load balancing, and that never stopped anyone from deploying ASP pages... Good luck. :) Erick Papadakis wrote: > hello people > > this might be a very silly question, but folks in my > company have now started asking some enterprise > questions like "sure, we'll do php but how about load > balancing?" i have a feeling that this can be achieved > with some caching on apache? how can i achieve this? > > thanks/erick > >
