High Availability

[cpanelbox]

I still don't understand how high availability exists in Enkompass by the use of round robin DNS with multiple A records for the same website in different web servers.

If a web server fails, clients will still hit the troubled web server because dns resolvers won't know that web server is down.. or am I missing something?

Howdy,

In the round robin setup the site will still be up, and you're right some requests will show it as down. But with a little more work you can add ARR into your solution and make it a true High Availability solution.

I did a presentation at our cPanel conference in 2009, the slides are still up if you'd like to take a look.
