Want to build web cluster server

[Yudong Tian]

I had run a web server cluster before. The key part is load balancing.
Easiest way to do it is round-robin with some trick in the DNS server
data, which requires no additional hardware (similar in the way every
time you ping "www.yahoo.com", you ping a different IP). However we used F5
network's HA+ load balancer to sit in front of the web servers to distribute
the traffic. The F5 box is basically a custormized Linux box. Cisco has a
similar product too. Anyway, it is pretty straight forward. Here is
an article to get you started:

Hope that helps.
