    Default Load Balancing - Enslaving a WHM server to another?

    Hi. I am setting up 2 Linux servers running WHM, load balanced under one ip.
    I will use a NFS connected on both servers for datas and mysql. But what about WHM/cPanel configs... is there a way to have a WHM server mirror another, in terms of having the same accounts, etc.?

    I've been looking into this type of solution for some time now…

    Wouldn't it be better to use a VPS system to do this ?

    This would add an extra software layer but would allow you to switch a single system instance over multipe servers and quickly remove physical servers if they fail…

    Hi, we work only with VPS, working in HA mode (hosts + remote storage solutions), but when a VPS with 64GB of RAM is too small, or if we need +100 CPU Cores for a project, we need to find scalability solutions and spread the workload across multiple VPS.

    And we want to preserve the work in the same server.

    If we migrate a domain to other VPS, not having to notify the client of new data access with the new URL.

    The better way is single WHM, for multiple VPSs.
