everyone. I'm having trouble setting up a load balancing/contingency server.
My scenario: I have 2 servers (Windows 2012 R2 machines) to run an application in ASP.Net/C#.
My problem: Would I like to switch servers, when a server shut down the other assuming its operation. I can not have both servers running because there is a service that can replicate the application actions.
What I have tried so far: Well, I tried to solve using ARR (Application Request Routing) in IIS, but I could not make the farm server turn the host application (happened the 502.4 error). See also by the Windows balancing method (load balancing manager) is not possible since, you need a cluster to manage the machines, right?
I wanted to avoid implement a switch by software from my application because I will have to keep sync data and DB too.
What kind of solution I should seek for this case?
Thanks in advance.
