Can DA support multiple servers? If so, how to set that up?
Want to do Round-Robin DNS with it as well..and make like one server mirror the main one just in case one should ever fail...
 
You have to have DA installed on each server. You have to have a DA license for each server. Mirroring servers is very complicated. How are you going to keep the data synced in real time?

So there's no way to do this with DirectAdmin?
I was hoping there was some way to mirror the data...but I suppose I could set up a chron job for stuff to be backed up every x hours from one server to the other...eh actually I have no idea how the hell I would do this... :o

Help me.
 
^ Simple. Get 2 servers or VPS's whatever you need, then all you need to do is setup the main server and setup the secondary server identical. Then transfer all accounts onto the main server and have RSYNC transfer ALL the data over to the backup server at your specific interval. So, RSYNC is your answer. You can set it up to transfer on the changed files, so it can save LOTS of bandwidth.

My guess though is MYSQL will kill the bandwidth, because my databases are updated like every minute dynamically..
 
Mirroring servers in real time is complicated. rsync cannot do it in real time. What if rsync takes an hour to run. Everything that has changed during that time on the original server is not on the mirror server.
