Hello folks.
I have a virtual lab setup and I want to setup Load Balancing so I can learn it. I have few straight forward questions before I begin though. NGINX will be my load balancers and Apache my web servers. I have some assumptions below and I would like to see if they are correct or not. Thank you :)
The virtual IP is defined in the load balance servers. It is specified in the config files.
If we have web site "Wordpress" the load balancers must be instructed to redirect the traffic to the servers that host the web site "wordpress". This again is done on the load balancers by specifying on which web servers the traffic will be sent. Do I have to create a virtual host on the load balance that will forward the requests to the actual web servers?
The content of the web sites can be synced with either rsync or other tools. I am not talking about the database. The database will be on a different server. I am talking about images and so forth.
