Question to use my server configuration
« on: May 08, 2007, 06:12:02 pm »
Hello,

I have seen this programs that seems very good to me, but I have a question for the configuration of the Multi server Part).

1) I have 4 differents servers and here is what I want.
The values are not exact at 100 %, it is for the sample
Server 1 : Speed 200 Ko / sec, bad article completion(70 - 80 %)
Server 2 : Speed 100 Ko / sec, better article completion (90-95 %)
Server 3 : Speed 30 Ko / sec, good article completion (98-99%)
Server 4 : Speed 15 Ko / sec. Veri good article completion (more than 99%)

As my line can handle 400 Ko / sec, I want to be able to use all my 4 servers in the same times (as primary servers), but as Server 1 has not a very good completion, when an article is not found on Server1, I want the program to try to download the article on Server 2, then 3, and finally 4.
How can I do that? Is it possible, or must I create a feature request?
Could I create a false server (localhost for example that never works) and then create all my servers as backup servers of the first one? Will the program work as I want like that?

Thank you
Marc

Hello,

If I add each server as a backup of the other one, I would have
Server 1
     Server 2
     Server 3
     Server 4
Server 2
     Server 1,3,4
Server 3
     Server 1,2,4
Server 4
     Server 1,2,3

Is it correct? I would have to create 16 servers?
In this case, Won't I have a problem with the number of connections allowed on a server?
In case there are problems for articles, I could have up to 4 conections on Server 4
My servers allow only 1 or 2 connections. Is there a way to limit the number of connections for one server if it is there 4 times?

I was hoping that the program was always searching on Server 2,3,4 if an article is not on server 1.

Thank you for your answer
Marc
