Hi all -

Im not exactly sure what to search for, so I figured Ill just ask here.

Im trying to mirror two web servers. Each is a del poweredge, mirrored raid, dual nic, dual power supply. Both running redhat 8 (can upgrade if needed). Both servers will be in the same building (one on the 1st floor, and one on the 8th.) Each located on a seperate T1 line from different providors.

I currently have both httpds configured for all domains. I use a DNS round robin to pseudo load balance. This means when a page loads, half the content is loaded from one server, and half from the other. Is there a better way of doing this?

I am currently using a staging server and letting the two live servers rsync from the staging server via a cron script. It runs every 10 minutes. Is there a better way of mirroring the data automatically?

I have a MySQL DB installed on both servers. Theyre configured for bi-directional replication. This, however falls out of sync every month or so, so i have to take the DB off line and move the data over and restart the DBs. There has got to be a far more reliable way of doing this.... any suggestions?

If any of you could point me in the right direction as to what I should be looking / searching for, It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
