    I have ispconfig 3 with apache installed on my server working great.
    my servers are loaded to the max and i need to add 2 more servers. is there a way to create 2 more servers with ispconfig and the system should balance the load between all 3 servers rather than using only one server?

    any tutorials on how to do this?

    thank you
    Ben

    If you run several websites then the easier way would be to add more ispconfig slaves to your server and then add new sites (or move some of the current ones) to the new servers. Loadbalancing is possible but that's not easy to install as you need a database cluster, a fast network storage or SAN cluster, 2 loadbalancing servers in front of your cluster etc.

    Just follow the normal perfect setup guide. During ispconfig installation, choose expert mode and select to join your first server when the installer asks. just ensure that you can login as mysql root user to the database of the master server from the salve as the installer will ask for this login to add a new mysql user etc.
