How do you setup all this ._.;
But then isn't the problem with doing that meaning your using space on the new server to host the same things as server 1 ? When you could have hosted new things ?
At this moment, we have four servers but we'll only have three by the start of next month. The servers are all setup for load balancing (meaning part of the load goes to one server, and another part of the load goes to the others) and when a server goes down out of our load balancing setup, it is removed from the cluster. This is all done with our two high performance webservers.
The distribution system also has a load balancing system coded into it, but we're only using Seras, our new server, right now. As for Luna, we're using Luna to test some things which may be a little risky to do on a production machine and we're having her turned off at the end of the month to cut costs.
How did I set this all up? It's good having some professional experience in this field. =)
