DNS? redirect? or other? How can maintain the two site syncronized? Thanks to all. SeriousServers 08-29-2006, 10:50 PM There are multiple ways non of witch are fun.. I would never use Cpanel / WHM but hey... Way (1) - Use a third party dns provider that will change the A record for your domain automaticly in the even an failure is detected. (however this will only work with people who don't have your DNS cached. Way (2) - If the servers are in the same Datacenter, I would get a third small (Celeron, 256mb ram, 20gb hd, $40-50/m) server and have a Linux Guru install LVS on the servers then the Celeron will be the load balancer, and in the event of a failure, all traffic goes to the other box There are other ways but Cpanel / WHM limits you. Who is your server provider? They might be able to rent you a shared load balancer you could use for fault tolarance.

(Direct load balance pair link: http://www.ev1servers.net/Dedicated/LoadBalancedPairs.aspx ) Their network is also very good.
