What is the best way to do a fallback between datacenters. We have a dedicated server in one of the data centers and as our traffic increased i wanted to add more then backup i wanted redundancy and load balancing.
The thing that happened in the meantime is our hosting provider got hit with some DDOS attacks. We were not the target, somebody else was but the attackers managed to make anybody available on that hosting provider. After 2 od those DDOS attacks, the past behind particularly bad i leaved a bad taste in my mouth. I want the redundancy from two different data centers and two different hosting providers.
The only thing that i can think of is DNS fallback, but we have also non HTTP traffic.
I wanted to put something in front of everything that would route/proxy that traffic but then i have also create a redundancy for that
PS. im in europe and have to have the servers in my country because of latency.
