Hello,
Assuming we have two (low traffic) servers (on different data centers) replicated using dsync, what is the best way to automatically direct users to the main server when it is up and to the redundant one when the main server is down?
Using DNS? I've seen that DNS-based failover has generally issues (for example: http://serverfault.com/questions/60553/why-is-dns-failover-not-recommended, which is informative although it refers to web servers).
What is the suggested approach? HAProxy? Heartbeat/Pacemaker?
i run keepalived as loadbalancer/failover but pacemaker etc should work fine too
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks and regards, Nick
