Balance load equally

happylag · 2017-03-15 17:49:47

Hello,

I have my videos content on two servers node1.domain.com and node2.domain.com ( Two servers have exactly the same content ).

Would you know how to create a third subdomain media.domain.com to redirect traffic equally to node1.domain.com and node2.domain.com ?

Thank you.

You can do this with nginx: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/load_balancing.html

The problem with load balancing and only two servers is the load balancer gets all the bandwidth first.

"From the network point of view, your client establishes a TCP connection to you "loadbalancer". That session keeps running, until you create an other one somewhere else. But your loadbalancer would balance traffic, not redirect it."

So basically you are balancing only for the video serving right? Not PHP?

No php only videos and photos.

You can just use the main example from the above nginx documentation. Here is a more detailed documentation of nginx load balancing: https://www.nginx.com/resources/admin-g … -balancer/

Basically on one of your servers you will have something like:

http {
    upstream myapp1 {
        server srv1.example.com;
        server srv2.example.com;
    }

    server {
        listen ipyouwanttouseforallrequests:80;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://myapp1;
        }
    }

    server {
       listen separateipforvideoserving:80;
       server_name srv1.example.com;

       here you have the root, the stuff for mp4 streaming
    }
}

on the other server you only have the second server block from the above example (the one for serving the videos).

The problem with this method is the bandwidth go through the load balancer first: ipyouwanttouseforallrequests:80

So if srv1.example.com use 500 mbps and srv2.example.com uses 500 mbps, the load balancer ipyouwanttouseforallrequests:80 will use 1 gbps.

Hmmm...what you need in this case is DNS load balancing. Basically your requests to the 2 servers are distributed at DNS level. This way you will use bandwidth only from the server to which the request is done (not both the server and proxy). I have never configured a setup like this, but here are a few examples i found:
