image server? · **Released**: 01-06-2007

Hello guys,

Right now i have a Dual Xeon 3.2Ghz server hosting all my site (web+mysql) with a heavy Vbulletin forum (still 2.3.10, thinking about upgrading soon).

I would like to add an image server (using lighttpd or equivalent) to help the main Apache server. Lighttpd would be in a different server.

Now my question is, does that image server need to be in the same private network (same rack) ? I read this is mandatory for a DB server, but for an image server?

I have around 1000 users at same time in my forum right now.

no.

The reason you want your DB in the private network is because most backend communications between servers is free, if you had to serve the DB info over a public network you'd pay big bucks. Since the images are going over the public network anyway, it doesnt matter though you should try to get them in the same rack to ensure loaing times are good.

Okie cool i will try that. The most difficult part is to change the scripts to upload the pic in the new server instead of the web server. Did you have experience in that?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
