Hello Tim,

I thought for sure we were all playing nice. :roll: I have seen the mod_rewrite utility you mention and will have a look. It's fairly well documented.

I just wanted a bit of a nudge when I wire this new system together. With funding the way it is (translates to $0), my dev system will migrate to production directly so I need to get it right the first time.

I understand your point that having many sources serving content seems to be a norm these days. I'm just trying to minimise maintenance for site stats and minimize how much backend config is revealed to user.

Thanks for your advice. I agree that the KISS principle applies. Ultimatly the intent is to have a rack containing image servers which I think lends itself to #2 and the proxy suggestion.

Have a great day!

Thats exactly the nugget of info I need. The DB only plays a part in that it is a seperate IP from the Tomcat/Apache Setup and I'll need to look into connecting the app Server and DB Server privatly.

Here's what I need to do in servlet container -> server.xml
define DB Resource whatever it may be and set the url param to point to a local private server with custom point
example: jdbc:mysql://some.where.yourdomain.com:####/db

Regarding the Image Server, if I understand you correctly, I need to setup a virtual server with port forwarding maybe? Can you give a few more details?

Its nice that you hit all the easy canned responses first. I do undertand RAID, its configuration and use and have a hardware controller rather than logical.

Regarding the farm comment, I'll just take that as a jab. ;-).

My whole issue is that I want the images to appear to be referenced from the same url eventhough the exist on a seperate IP internally.

I definately know that I'm missing something fairly simple in Apache config 101. What is it?

BTW, I'm using JK2 to tie the webapps to Apache.

Thanks for your reply Adrian.

Basically, I'm looking at creating an AppServer A such that it would pull images from Server B and access MySQL Database from Server C. Does that make sense?

My thought process lies with an evergrowing imagebank, heavily utilized DB and a farm of Tomcat webapps.

Thanks once again for your thoughts!

P.S. I would like to migrate the DB to RAID 5 as well.

I guess I asked this question in the wrong list

Thanks for straightening me out on my profile name.

Hello All,

Is there any chance one of you might point me in the right direction to building a small distributed server farm? What I'm after, like the subject implies, is a server dedicated to delivering dynamic content, one server to deliver images and one to deliver the DB all tied together neat and tidy.

Oh, and I would like them to be Linux OS.

Thanks in advance!

Just to throw in another $.02, you could create a word pad out of javascript and then insert in db as text via hidden field. Heavy DHTML though.
