The Little Guy Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I was wondering, for someone who has 2+ data centers, say one in California, and one in New York and they share the same domain name like "superawesomewebsite.com", how does traffic get directed to each data center? I believe you just use the ip of data center 1 and 2 in your dns and it will send you there, but isn't the second ip for connecting only if the first one isn't reachable? So basically how does having 2+ data centers work while utilizing both of them?
