If we needed more than two cosignd servers, we *might* deploy a load balancer in each of two locations. Clients would still see two IPs, but the load would be spread across however many cosignd servers were in each location. Only the HTTPS port would be behind the load balancer, mostly because web browsers can not necessarily be relied upon to fail-over gracefully. Port 6663 would not be load balanced, so replication would take place directly, as would access & fail-over for cosign filters.
The cosign architecture is in fact unique, in the sense that it is simple, elegant, robust, and high-performing. If you'd like me to expound on any of its unique features, I'd be happy to go on at great length :) :wes |
