[Dxspider-support] Load Balancing

[Kin]

Tim, It is not possible  (useful) to use rsync or similar, because the files I have mentioned are loaded in memory, so the information is not available in real time. You have to modify spider.
And always use an active/reserve, because in load sharing nodes with the same callsign is a problem.

Hi Kin, 
All good points, so you could set up nodes with multiple callsigns, and use rsync to only share what can be shared. Not an ideal solution but there are possibilities.
Mind you , from a users perspective, its real easy to switch between nodes so I really think load balancing is not something we really need to worry about.🙂
cheers

It's not that simple, Tim.
There should never be more than one node connected to the same callsign.
Another problem is that the nodes do not share the user_json DB.
Additionally, there are settings such as filters that should be shared.
And partners cannot be shared either, although this has an easy solution.
Using HA Proxy would be a great solution if you didn't have to modify the spider code.

Hi Faizul,

Given the interconnected nature of the dxcluster all spots appear 
everywhere almost instantaneously so you could just connect to another 
node if your favourite node went down and I don't think any node is 
suffering for excess load since the software is reasonably lightweight.

You could set up two nodes locally with DNS round robin load balancing 
between them or you could put a HA-proxy in front of them to do the load 
balancing. Both methodologies expand horizontally to many nodes. This 
can give you both load sharing and redundancy should you require it.

There's really no need to have the software itself do that function.

cheers

Tim
