Hi Guys, Just after a bit of advice about deployment. Here is my scenario.. (If I am ever lucky enough to have lots of customers for my application - this is a good problem to have!) Let’s say I own www.uniguiapp.com I am using a VM which can scale to a certain degree(I can add more RAM and CPU cores etc.) Lets say for now the limit of the server is 2 customers. I have my application deployed on IIS – Underneath an application pool I have a site for each “Customer” eg. www.uniguiapp.com/customer1 goes to the application and connects to customer1’s database (on the same SQL server instance) www.uniguiapp.com/customer2 goes to the application and connects to customer2’s database (on the same SQL server instance) Each folder on the file system has its “own instance off the unigui application, eg its own ISAPI dll (as each is treated as a different site, underneath the application pool) Now, this setup works well for me, everything is on the same server I can roll out updates and make backups easily enough. Now down to my question… However, the server only has a certain amount of scaling, let’s say I have maxed out ram/cpu and I now have a new customer, let’s say customer3. I would now have to purchase a new VM server to accommodate customer3. I would like to be able to have customer3's url of www.uniguiapp.com/customer3 , eventhough it is running on a different server. (with a different IP of course) I want to know if this is possible, and how to achieve it. Currently I have my server IP mapped to the domain name using a single A record, then my site in IIS maps to the correct directory. Can I achieve what I need by have another A record on the new server of www.uniguiapp.com/customer3 ? Apologies for the long post, and thanks for reading. Any advice is welcome.
