Users themselves connect to a specific node. Nodes never swap or share connections between them. </p> <p>Once both ejabberd nodes are connected, and sharing the relevant Mnesia tables as described in the ejabberd Guide, the user can select to which node to connect (indicating the machine address as 'connect using this host' on the Jabber client. If the Jabber client does not indicate any preference, it will connect to the default host.</p> <div class="quote-msg"> <div class="quote-author"><em>_bip_</em> wrote:</div> <p>Do i need to install additional software(for example, smth like load balancing stuff)?</p></div> <p>If you want load balancing, yes. But it isn't strictly required.</p> Wed, 01 Feb 2006 22:18:11 +0000 mfoss comment 1330 at https://www.ejabberd.im https://www.ejabberd.im/node/628#comment-1321 <div class="quote-msg"> <div class="quote-author"><em>_bip_</em> wrote:</div> <p>Do i need to install additional software(for example, smth like load balancing stuff)?

You also can play with DNS SRV Records to do load balancing, but AFAIK no clients implement it, so that's useless.</p> Tue, 31 Jan 2006 21:01:17 +0000 sander comment 1321 at https://www.ejabberd.im
