Linux dns server

Linux NetworX introduces Evolocity 1240s, designed for managing and optimizing Web traffic in the Internet market. By placing all Web services on Evolocity 1240s, Internet service providers (ISPs) and application service providers (ASPs) can achieve maximum system uptime by taking advantage of the redundancy, failover and scalability clustered server technology offers.

Cluster technology, on which Evolocity 1240s is based, is a method of linking multiple computers, or compute modules, together to form a powerful, unified system. The server contains all of the tools needed for high availability Web serving. Linux NetworX will unveil the Evolocity 1240s at the Networld+Interop 2000 trade show Sept. 26.

To limit service downtime, ISPs often have many different machines dedicated for single services. For example, an ISP might have one machine handling mail, one for Web serving, one for DNS, and multiple machines handling static Web content. If any one machine goes down, then that service is lost.

With the cluster technology in Evolocity 1240s, it is possible to eliminate service downtime, while at the same time maximizing the use of system resources. Each compute module in the system handles a portion of each of the services -- so if an individual module fails, only a small portion of overall capacity is lost; there is never a threat of a single service being completely lost.
