I am planning to move one of my websites to a web farm (only 2 servers). I understand the basic concept of how load balancing works but need help with 2 different ideas I have.
Load balancing with webfarm
- I am worried about SEO, duplicate content, different IP's?
My method
The most of the resource consumption on my server is due to a long heavy memory process for every query. I have in mind to set up a different server (not with a website). Create web services for the heavy memory processes and call these webmethods from my main server. If need be I can add another a 3rd server and replicate the same web methods on it and multiply.
The only downside I see is that; before every call to the webmethod, I need to write an algorithm to find the server with most memory available and call the webmethod on that server.
Any ideas if this is a sound idea?
Lastly, quite a bit of resources are used on my main server due to large file uploads. Is there a way to counter and redirect this to the low memory usage server?
