Need help with load balancing and DNS proxy

Hi,
I need help on how to configure my router so it will work with my DNS proxy and load balancing.
I have a Linksys LRT224 router. I have two broadband connections from two separate ISPs,500Mbps each (WAN1 & WAN2). WAN1 has a static IP and WAN2 is dynamic assigned. I use Unlocator (www.unlocator.com) so I can access geographically restricted sites (Pandora, Netflix, etc.).
The problem I have is that unlocator registers only one IP address (WAN1 address) and since I am doing load balancing I have no way of knowing if the DNS request will go through the registered IP (WAN1) or through the other (WAN2). I am not an expert in routing or networking but I'm guessing I have a way of configuring the router so all the DNS requests go out through WAN1, right?
In the router's Dual WAN config page there is a section for Protocol Binding. I tried to configure but only managed to screw up the internet at home. I used:
DNS[UDP/53-53]->192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254(0.0.0.0-0.0.0.0)WAN2
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Good solution though. That's probably the only way you could do true Load Balancing anyway.

  • Dual WLAN links with load balancing and failover

    Hello,
    I am in a scenario where I am in need of two WLAN links between two buildings. There is a distance of 100-150 meters and minimum bandwidth required for both links together is 300Mbit/s. The thing is that both links should use load balancing between them and if one of them goes down, the last one should act as fail over.
    I have been looking at Cisco Aironet 1550 Series though I have no idea what is needed to get load balancing and fail over to work, so I am searching here for suggestions on what equipment is needed.
    Something like this:
                  ---------------WLAN Link 150-300Mbit/s-----------
    Building                    Load balancing and fail over               Building
                  ---------------WLAN Link 150-300Mbit/s-----------
    Thanks in advance!

    Several points.
    When an AP is doing 300Mbps, that's NOT the real throughput you have. It's the data rate at which traffic is sent.
    All in all, if your AP/client are doing 300MBps association, you will see max 150Mbps with a file transfer.
    From there, I'm not even sure that 11n supports dual spatial streams over such long distances (you can't have multipath in open air) so afaik the 1550 only do 150Mbps association rate (=dual channel with one spatial stream). That means 75Mbps real speed.
    I couldn't test a 1550 yet so don't take my word for official statement but that's what I'm thinking.
    the wireless links will always be both up and they can be on different channels.
    That will then mean that it will be "as if" the remote switch was connected directly to the central switch (where WLC is connected) as the WLC tunnels traffic all the way. So you could do a spanning-tree config on this one I guess to block the port onthe remote switch.

  • Need help with Airport Express and so on.

    Ok so my main problem before getting into what I need help with here is that our MacBooks and now my iPhone 6 plus isn't staying online. Keep getting booted off and then I either have to select the network again or it will eventually go back on. If anyone has a solution or so please feel free to answer that as well. I'm running on Roadrunner with a Netgear 600 wireless router and a motorola modem. Both of which I'll leave the link to below for a better look.
    My Main Question: So I'm looking at a new wireless router mainly and possibly a new modem. I know Apple products are trustworthy but how good is the Airport Express and other Airport products. Also what is the Maximum speed and Maximum data speed for the cheapest express station and if anyone knows the speeds of the other devices it would be greatly appreciated.

    DSL Router to Netgear 5-port Switch and I used the switch to connect to Airport Extreme, TV, Blue-Ray DVD player and DirecTV Receiver.
    The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is a router so it will do what you need.
    You need to reconfigure your setup. Connect the WAN port of the AEBS to the DSL router. Then connect the Netgear switch to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS. The AEBS will properly share the connection.

  • Need help with Page Layout and Background Scaling

    hello, everyone.
    I am in the process of designing a new website for myself,
    and while I was researching nicely designed pages to use as
    inspiration, I stumbled upon this site:
    http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/
    obviously, the design is very impressive, but it also
    incorporates a lot of web mechanics that I have been trying to
    figure out, so I will use this page as an example.
    one thing I need help with is backgrounds. as you can see in
    the posted website, the creator used a seamlessly tiled paper
    texture to display the bulk of his content on. also make not of the
    pattern that is located to the left of the paper texture. how do I
    create seamless backgrounds like this that will scale to fit any
    amount of content or any resolution? I can't imagine that the guy
    that made that site created a new size background every time he
    made an update, so there has to be an easier way.
    the second thing that I am having trouble with is general
    site layout. I have read that most sites used series of invisible
    tables to organize there content, but when I open the source of
    this page in dreamweaver, he was using something different. div
    tags? should I be using these? who do I use them? are there any
    general layout tips that someone could pass on to me? perhaps a
    link to a good tutorial?
    please help me. i am very confused.
    thanks so much.

    IMO not a good site to emulate. To wit:
    Top background image:

    745px x 950px 130K
    Total page size: 454K (Check here:
    www.websiteoptimization.com)
    Website usability experts routinely recommend a maximum page
    size of ~80K
    Check out the We We Scale @ www.FutureNowInc.com/wewe/ where
    they suggest,
    "You speak about yourself approximately 0,003 times as often
    as you speak
    about your customers. Might that have an impact on your
    effectiveness?"
    That is 100% consistent with the #1 Web Design mistake:
    "Believing people
    care about you and your web site." or to phrase more
    expansively, "Our site
    tries to tell you how wonderful we are as a company, but not
    how we're going
    to solve your problems."
    www.sitepoint.com has some excellent books on making a
    website actually
    attractive and usable at the same time.

  • Need help with show/hide and layers moving

    I'm more of a designer, so I don't know code or CSS well at
    all. I'm doing an online portfolio for a class and need help with
    layers not staying in place in different browsers. The portfolio is
    created with a table, but I wanted to use the show/hide function
    for thumbnails of work. Are layers the only way you can use this
    function? I read layers don't work well with tables, so how else
    can I make it so when you mouse over a thumbnail, the larger image
    appears in another cell?

    > I don't know code or CSS well at all.
    That's unfortunate.
    > layers not staying in place in different browsers.
    Layers don't move. But the rest of your page does.
    Before you get too wrapped up in layers, though, please read
    this -
    http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layerlaws.asp
    They are not good when be used as a primary layout method.
    > I read layers don't work well with tables
    They work fine with tables - but you have to understand both
    tables and
    layers to use them.
    Why not show us your page, so we can see what you are
    struggling with?

  • Distributed HA cluster with load-balancing and failover: advice?

    My workplace has a Xeon Xserve, which acts as our primary external server, with an attached ActiveStorage XRAID. We have just purchased a second Xserve/XRAID set to act as a mirror, which we will colocate. Both have Leopard Server installed, along with an array of additional software.
    What we want to do is have both servers load-balance between the two, with failover in case of a server or XRAID fault. I plan on using RSYNC to mirror static files between the two, and I'm looking into PostgreSQL replication and load-balancing solutions for our database. I gather that Apache supports web-server failover and load-balancing, as well. But, that still leaves the actual host and network setup to arrange.
    Does Leopard server support such a thing? The only information I found on IP failover instructs the user to place the two servers on the same subnet, directly connected via ethernet cable; obviously, this would not work in my case.
    Ideally, what we'd end up with is a situation in which the two systems kept each other in sync, both in static files and database data, and load-balanced between themselves; in cases of failure, the remaining system would transparently assume all duties until the other was restored, at which time they would resynchronize
    Any suggestions on how I could arrange such a thing?

    Interesting. Does this DNS-based approach support session tracking, though? I would need to have a user directed to just one of the two servers for the duration of their session, to avoid having to synchronize temporary files and such.
    You can't have it both ways. You need to build tolerance into the app.
    At the simplest level where you run all traffic to one site and use the second site as a failover/standby site you'll be OK most of the time - all users will go to the same server and their sessions will be intact.
    However, under any failover situation (your primary site is down for some reason), there is going to be some level of session traffic that it going to switch over to the other site. If your site depends on sessions then you're going to need to tolerate this kind of situation - your app will need to be able to fail gracefully if a user comes in with an invalid session cookie.
    Note, though, that this may be less of an issue than you at first think - all DNS clients will cache DNS data for whatever TTL you set. This means that if a user looks up your site name and you return an IP address with a 30 minute TTL, then that user is going to use the same IP address for the next 30 minutes and isn't going to ask the server again. This should negate most chance of a user suddenly switching from one server location to the other in mid-session.
    The trick comes in setting the DNS TTL low enough to effect a failover, yet not so long that you impact performance - e.g. you don't want the user to perform a DNS lookup on every page load. You may find that 10 minutes is appropriate. Just bear in mind that this affects how long a user could see your site 'down' before the failover DNS kicks in. Clearly you don't want to set the DNS TTL to a day since that may prevent the user switching to the secondary site for 24 hours by which time, hopefully, the primary site is back up, anyway.
    The 'right' TTL value may take some analysis on your traffic to see how long a typical user 'session' is. If the average user spends 20 minutes on your site, then it would make sense to set your TTL to somewhere around 20 minutes to give the best chance of their entire session staying on the same server.

  • Need help with Boot Camp and Win 7

    I have iMac 27" (iMac11,1) 2.8 GHz, quad core, 8MB of L3, 8GB of Memory, Boot ROM Version IM111.0034.B02 and SMC Version 1.54f36 and can't get this machine to run Windows 7 using Boot Camp.  I have successfully loaded Win 7 but when it claims to be starting I only get a black screen after initial start up.
    I have checked and rechecked my software updates and have read and reread the instructions, however, I can't update my Boot Camp to 3.1 (my machine says i'm running 3.0.4) and I need 3.1 but can't load 3.1 because it is an exe file that has to be loaded into Windows after I load Windows but can't open Windows because I can't load Boot Camp 3.1.  That's my excuse anyway, so I'm missing something I just can't figure out what it is....this is where you come in!
    Thanks.

  • Exchange was deployed without a CASArray, need help with array settings and PRF to fix.

    I'm standing up a new Exchange 2010 server to replace old hardware (not going 2013 at this time) and found out the hard way that the person who built the old 2010 box never created a CASArray.  I've created one and applied it to the mailbox DB on the
    new server with set-rpcclientaccess and it works fine - I move my own mailbox to the new DB and do a "Repair" to the Outlook profile and then it shows the address for the CAS Arrary within Outlook.
    I set up a hardware load balancer for the CAS Array IP address and it shows good connection from both CAS servers, Outlook is connecting through that just fine.
    Users are on Outlook 2007 and 2010, almost all 64-bit versions.
    Reconfiguring everybody's outlook isn't going to be a practical solution for me - I support a couple hundred geographically-dispersed users most of whom aren't keen to muck about in their Outlook settings.  So here are my questions:
    Should I add the mailbox DB on the old CAS server to the array using set-rpcclientaccess or will this disrupt connectivity for all users?
    Assuming I need to use a PRF to update client computers, have read several pages on how to create the PRF, but even launching outlook.exe /importprf doesn't fix the value - and /promptimportprf doesn't prompt (I see a brief flash of what is probably the
    prompt window but it disappears immediately).  I'm going to paste in the PRF in use exempting sections 5, 6 and 7 which are unchanged.  Where do I correctly need to enter the CAS array value?

    If you move a mailbox from one server to another, Outlook will automatically repair the Outlook profile.  Have you tried this, instead of trying to force a profile update using a PRF?

  • Webdispatcher with load-balancing and local icm configuration

    Dear all,
    we have a webdispatcher in place to load-balance the requests to our three application servers (ABAP). The webdispatcher has a hostname that is resolved by the DNS. The application servers use local hostnames that can't be resolved in our infrastructure at the moment.
    That configuration works fine for all requests that reach the infrastructure from outside.
    But, if a user logs on with SAP GUI and then calls a web transaction like a webdynpro, the browser opens with the local application server hostname. However that hostname can't be resolved.
    Is it possible to change the three local icm configurations in a way that all local generated web requests refers to the webdispatcher too? What is the preferred configuration for this more or less usual scenario?
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniel

    Hello,
    In your scenario, I would try to create entries in table HTTPURLLOC. After that the 3 app servers should generate URLs using the SAP Web Dispatcher.

  • FCP Novice needs help with video quality and FCP 5!!

    Hi,
    I have a real problme that I cannot seem to fix. I think its because I am doing something really wrong!
    I have a Sony HC42E MiniDV Camcorder which by default records video in full widescreen. I recorded several tapes this way and have now begun trying to edit them in FCP 5.04 (Tiger 10.4.6). Whenever I log and capture my clips they appear to be fuzzzy and unclear on the Mac monitor whilst being totally crisp and sharp on the camcorder viewfinder. I tried capturing using the DV PAL 48Khz Anamorphic Preset which keeps everything the right size (the final output needs to be true widescreen and not with black bars added) but the resulting video on screen is blurry and bitty. I then tried capturing using the DV PAL 720 x 576 normal preset and the video is a little clearer on the screen (for both presets I have chosen lower field dominance) but when I play back it plays back in widescreen on the mac canvas window but at 4:3 on the camera's viewfinder.
    I then assumed that maybe this is just becuase the mac screen (CRT by the way) doesn't use fields. So I exported the sequence as a QT movie using DV PAL 16:9 and used quicktime (OS9 Classic - my compressor has never worked because of the dreaded "unable to connect to baackground process" problem which I've never managed to correct) to convert it to MPEG2. When I import this as an asset into DVD Studio pro 4 and set the track size to 16:9 it comes through at the right aspect ratio. However it looks blurry on screen. Thinking that this will be fine on a TV I burned the disc - inserted it into my DVD player (a good one!) and watched it on my new 32" widescreen TV (a good one!) and the picture qualitty is poor. Its so much blurrier and bittier than the original footage looks when played through the camcorder's viewfinder!
    The final footaage looks like an old VHS recording that's a year or two old!
    Does anyone know how I can capture my footage in FCP with the maximum quality, edit it without quality loss and the export it for DVD again without such significant quality loss whilst all the time keeping it at proper 16:9 widescreen?
    Is there some presets I should be working to?
    I'm tearing my hair out! Help!

    Hi Guys,
    thanx for your replies.
    here's the latest:
    Brian, I followed your instructions and the DVD burned successfully. However the video quality of the dvd when viewed on my TV ('ve tried on all 3 of my tvs now) is still a lot poorer than the quicktime movie that was imported into DVDSP4. When I play the original QT Movie on my Mac CRT monitor it looks a little blurry and grainy because I guess its non interlaced however when viewed on an external Video monitor it looks great - very sharp.
    When I view the burned DVD on my television the picture quality looks like the non interlaced version of the original QT Movie that appeared on my Mac CRT and not the sharp interlaced (lower field) version that appeared on my external video monitor.
    Its almost like taking a sharp jpeg into Photoshop and applying a gaussian blur of about 0.3 followed by jepg compression compressing it down to 5% quality!
    I'm totally mystified. Can the conversion to Mpeg2 be removing all interlacing so that you get the less sharp computer monitor look? I just want the video on my final DVDs to be as good as the original source footage! I appreciate that along the way there might be loss of some quality but surely not that much?
    Does this make sense to you guys or am I still doing something very wrong?
    Robert: I have tried setting all manner of drives including a fresh external firewire HD with nothing on it (clean out of the box) but it doesn't seem to help.
    Brian: I tried the no network suggestion a few months back but I'm not sure if I got it right. At the moment I have broadband through an external speedtouch usb modem and am also connected (occasionally although not for the last 3 months) via a crossover cable to my PCs ethernet card. When I last tried the No Network solution I had immense trouble getting my internet to work again! Can you please help me by directing me to the best ay to do this while protecting my internet settings?
    any more help guys would be greatfully appreciated.
