I have made a sample page, which has a logo page. It asks the user to state its department according to which the page will show the department logo.
I want to separate the website access by copying the webpage on different computers and hosting such that each computer represent a department (the webpage shows the text “welcome to department” which I have edited by department name for each department computer).
When user says:
- http://www.select_your_department.com computer1 is used as IIS server
- user says my department is alpha
- computer1 one does response.redirect to showmydepartment.aspx which has a page saying “welcome to alpha” (that is this page is coming from the cpu dedicated for department alpha)
But how to achieve this in practical?
Even if I copy the page on all the departments computer and edit it department name, the page still has the same name “showmydepartment”. How to ask browser to fetch the page from particular hosting server?
I think it involves something like department.showmydepartment and some domain names.
If I understand correctly this sounds like a really bad idea. A better solution would be to developer the application based on a single computer and implement clustering if the load is too great for a single machine.
The posters idea of spreading the website across several machines has little chance of handling load situations and will be a development and maintenance nightmare.
