Webdispatcher with reverse proxy

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We need to deploy reverse proxy and web dispatcher. This is for a relatively budget savvy customer so cost is big issue. My question is :-

1) Can we deploy reverse proxy & webdispatcher on the same server ? (without using VMware). Probably we will use two Linux operating system.

2) Should we plan for failover on Webdispatcher ? Or running Webdispatcher without failover may not be that big issue.

Can you guys please share your thoughts on these two issues ? Urgently require your feedback on this.

Hi,

We need to deploy reverse proxy and web dispatcher.

The web dispatcher IS a reverse proxy. What do you mean ? I think you did not perfectly understand the need...

1) Can we deploy reverse proxy & webdispatcher on the same server ? 

Yes, but it does not make sense to me until you have a very unusual requirement.

Should we plan for failover on Webdispatcher ?

If you need High availability, yes. You're the only one to know if you need it...

Are you using any other software for reverse proxy?

You can configure reverse proxy through webdiaptcher only
