Masking DNS names of all members of an array with single hostname?
Hi there
I was wondering if the following is possible. Consider the scenario:
Two SGDEE servers used by clients within LAN, one of which is array master
Two SGDEE servers in DMZ used by clients on the Internet.
Rather than clients connecting to individual SGDEE servers, we'd rather they
connect to the SGDEE array through a single URL, with real hostnames
"hidden", meaning that users will not be aware of the SGDEE server names.
I'm pretty sure this is not possible, but could you confirm or deny this?
Many thanks in advance
Paul

Paul,
You can use round-robin DNS to achieve this.

Thank you for your answer.
We are already doing this, but once the client has connected to a server,
the URL in the browser is replaced using the host name of the server.
I think it is not possible without a load-balancer in front of the array
keeping track of the sessions, and that using a load balancer probably is
not supported by TTA.

Paul is right. In a "standard scenario" you cannot hide the name. It is
possible, that the ip address is used.
As soon as you use Secure Connections (SSL Certificats) you must have a
correct name for each array server.
I would be happy if we have some one in the news, who configuered SGDEE w/
SSL via revers proxy.
In this case, changing the names for the outside world could be possible.
BTW: RR is not realy a good idea. RR does not check the reachibility of the
server.
What i do in my array is a vitruelle interface construction which is
monitored by each server.
So the client connects by a common Name and gets back the right server name.

Tarantella does work with load balancer.
