Single Server Load Balancing

[ShaneStump]

Howdy All!

I know this question has been asked before but I figured I would ask again in 2021 and describe my customer’s setup a little more specific.

All of my customers run their own in-house server from ~2015 or earlier (i.e. I am NOT going to be able to suggest a server farm).

My IW application runs under IIS and depending on the load, can work for weeks or just days - I have no idea if it is a low memory leak or what.

What I want to do is run a web server that would allow me to run multiple copies of my IW app on a single physical server but allow the work load to be spr

THe suggested solution in the past has been Octagate which is no longer to be found.

Does anyone have a cheap solution (i.e. doesn’t have to be free but can’t cost a small fortune) for this scenario?

All the best,

Shane

Anything that will do a simple round robin would work if you put your IIS program on a separate URL on the same machine.

Also,  Is your program setup for 32bit?  If so once you hit the 3.5 memory limit my programs start having issues.

I had hoped to move to 64 bit a few years ago but the company that bought my software decided to quit updating my tools at 10.2.3 and the C++ WIN64 compiler didn't become usable until 10.4.3/11.1. So the project will be stuck in 32 bit world for its life cycle.

Thanks,

Shane
