Morning all,
this morning I'm asking, a hopefully trivial question, about
making a system more robust, and the more I see from Erlang, the more I am
impressed.
I have the following scenario, I have EXTERNAL clients,
connecting to a specific IP and Port and an Erlang Server managing the
connections and requests. Unfortuanately the External clients are stupid
and can NOT change the IP they connect to when that box fails.
Is there a way of creating a "virtual ip address" to which
external clients can connect, but which is handled and failed over between /
among erlang nodes as there are multiple nodes available for
processing?
Or is the only solution a server cluster with hardware
failover?
