If you struggle to distribute workload across multiple frontends, this guide on bare metal load balancing might be helpful. Our Sys Architect shares lifehacks on how to make servers process more than half a million requests per second. The article features gdnsd and nginx configuration scripts. The guidelines helped us to ensure even traffic usage and network load distribution, as well as smooth deploys for our programmatic DSP.

The original blog post.

    Digital Signal Processor? TFA only has DSP once, and it isn't explained.

    Some searching suggests it could be Demand Side Platform. Maybe. Meaning bidding for ads.

    Meaning bidding for ads.

    Makes sense, as the code samples contain the word "adserver" several times. Actually I was hoping that there was some technical meaning of "adserver" that I don't know, but after your comment, I'm pretty sure that word means exactly what it seems to mean.

    Well, I'm helping them with their load issues by simply not generating additional load for them. ;-)

      Yeah, after a quick look, the site is all about advertising. It's interesting though, technical well written with detailed analysis, really gives you a different insight into ads.
