Example: Load balancing
Scenario:
In this example, we have a webserver (www.domain.com) that accepts all incoming clients. Its only task is to randomly redirect all incoming requests to five webservers under the same domain (www1,..., www5). This way the network load is evenly distributed to the five webservers.
Configuration:
Map Text:
#Webservers.txt
server www1|www2|www3|www4|www5
Configuration text:
#Turn IIS Mod-Rewrite engine on
RewriteEngine On
#Load map with random webserver names
RewriteMap ServerMap rnd:x:\path\Webservers.txt
#Check if the client requested "domain.com" or "www.domain.com"...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$ [NC]
#...and if so, redirect the request randomly to one of the web servers
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://${ServerMap:server}.domain.com$1 [R,L]
