Round robin between ips

[elegance]

I want to set my site on a round robin to take advantage of different ip addresses on each visit.
I have one domain and 6 ip address, i will use Zoneedit for round robin between ip addresses but before that i need to assign these ip addresses to same domain and same files with DA or cpanel(i prefer DA because i will setup only one site on server), is it possible?!

Also i have to Install same SSL certificate on all these ips.

If yes please explain details for me how can i do that, because i want to choose my panel today.

Best regards

Is your site going to be on six different servers? Or only one one, with six IP#s pointing to it? If the latter, then I don't see any sense in doing it. If all IP#s point to the same machine, then what's the point? (no pun intended)

While zone edit says they do round-robin DNS (here) in reality they're oversimplifying and in reality there's almost no such thing. For a good explanation, look at this Wikipedia article.

No control panel I know of adequately addresses how to do this on one server, as there's no perceivable advantage to it.

Any control panel can do it on multiple servers; just set up the same site on multiple servers and use some method external to the control panel to keep the site updated on all six servers.

In any event, a Secure Certificate comes with a license to use it on one Server. For six servers you'll usually need to buy six Secure Certificates.

To install the same site with the same root directory structure and six different IP#s you'll need to create the site six times on your DA server, and then through the shell, as root, modify five of the individual httpd.conf files exact copies of the sixth, and then just install the Certificate in that sixth. To keep DirectAdmin from overwriting your changes you'll have to chattr the five files you modified as immutable.

If you don't have the skills to perform these steps you may need to hire a server administrator to do the job for you.

Same server!

Yes, i want to install one site with six different ip address in one server, because my provider have Ddos protection on each ip address, and i heard if i put my site on multi ip address it can help in ddos protection.

i contact DA admins and here is their answer:

Hello,

You can do it, although the multiple IP bit isn't really related to DA.
First, add the domain onto 1 IP normally though DA. Configure it with ssl however you want it.

Then for the other 5 IPs, manually add a virtualhost into the bottom of the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf in the exact same syntax as the user httpd.conf file setup by DA.
The only different is that instead of the value:

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>

you'd have this instead:
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.5:80 1.2.3.6:80 1.2.3.7:80 1.2.3.8:80 1.2.3.9:80>

Thank you,

John

========================================

but can you please tell me wich way will work?!

1. Add the domain onto 1 IP normally though DA. Configure it with ssl, and then copy paste it in httpd.conf

2. As you said : create the site six times on your DA server, then edit httpd.conf?!

Best regards

Either way will work.

Do it the DA way . It's simpler.
