I've just found that RH Advanced Server is up to $1500.00. This pretty much shoots down any plans I had to clustering my web sites for load balancing. Would there happen to be anyone here that knows of a way to set up a website to sit on multiple servers? I'm referring to something similar to a load balancing solution where if the load is too bad on one, it's directs you to the other one. My ISP, TZO, offers a failover service @ $100.00 per month for a year, but I wanted to know if there were other solutions available in the Linux community that aren't as expensive.

TIA

If I do recall correctly, there are options for doing it, but I can't think of any offhand.

I do know, though, that there are other Free distributed computing solutions for clustering and load balancing other than RH Advanced Server. I'd recommend trying a www.google.com/linux search for "load balancing" or "clustering" or "cluster".
