Webfarm configuration.
Hello,

I have a webfarm with 2 machines and a kentico instalation with 10 sites.
Only two sites use the webfarm, they are:
www.domain1.com
www.domain2.com.

The ip of webfarms are:
192.168.1.2
192.168.1.3

I configured the webfarm module following the documentation and added the IP's and license keys of domain AND ip's, total of 4 licenses.
server1 is 192.168.1.2
server2 is 192.168.1.3

My question are:
I need to put the domains in webfarm module too or only the ips?
Can I leave my four licenses (two for domains and two for ips) or kentico should has only IP licenses for the webfarm?

Thank You!
Best regards.

Hi,

You should use the keys for IP or domain names under which the two server are accessible and listen to each other. If you will leave all four there nothing bad will happen.

But, e.g. the web farm servers will access each other under the IP but the web sites are accessible under the domain name - in this case you need all license keys.

Thanks Juraj!

I have a last question about configuration. I read the documentation explaining about task syncronization.
Actually the kentico is without webconfig configurations, so the default syncronization is by request, right?
This requests are only on kentico like operation of new document, delete document, move documents etc, or requests on site navigation also trigger the tasks?

Best regards.

Hi,

The user interface is actually a kind of web site. So any request made on the site - live site or in user interface is a request.
