Web Hosting with One Virtual Group and Multiple Destination Servers
In the following example, a company web site is established with a URL of
www.ctron.com. The system administrator configures the networks so that the SSR
forwards web requests among four separate servers, as shown below.
The network shown above can be created with the following load-balance commands:
The following is an example of how to configure a simple verification check where the
SSR will issue an HTTP command to retrieve an HTML page and check for the string
“OK”:
The read-till-index option is not necessary if the file test.html contains “OK” as the first
two characters. The read-till-index option is helpful if the exact index of the acv-reply
string in the file is not known to the user. In the above example, the SSR will search from
the beginning of the file up to the 25th character for the start of the string “OK.”
