Hello, perhaps that's a bit off topic here but can someone explain what I need to build a hardware failover nginx cluster?
The unclear is: How does the client know that the server 1 is down and use the other one? DNS failover has a delay because of the design I think. client ---> SRV1 |---> SRV2 (failover if SRV1 is down and load balancing) how did it work on google or somethink else? dig google.de ; <<>> DiG 9.8.4-rpz2+rl005.12-P1 <<>> google.de ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 3635 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;google.de.
