One Domain on Two Servers?

    Hello cPanel Is it possible to make the following configuration? I have a domain, and I want 50 emails to be hosted on a server A and 100 emails are hosted on a server B. All emails are from the same domain. Both servers use cPanel. This is to distribute the workload, since the use of emails will be intensive.

    There really isn't a way to do that. The problem is with the DNS, not so much a cPanel limitation.

    Hey @jlucho, You're going to need a load balancer that allows you to do weighted traffic distribution. then you would point the external IP to the load balancer, and then let the load balancer handle the flow to the two servers. your DNS record would then point to the LB IP address and it will work as you are looking to have it work. In terms of seperating email accounts, you cant really do this unless you have multiple sending domains, your email accounts will need to exist on both servers. your scenario ------------------------------ mail.example.com ------------------------------ |Server 1 | Server 2 | |bob@example.com|Joe@example.com | |Gil@example.com | dan@example.com | |pet@example.com| | |foo@example.com| |
    the above is unachievable. you can only do this ------------------------------ mail.example.com ------------------------------ |Server 1 | Server 2 | |bob@example.com|bob@example.com| |Gil@example.com | Gil@example.com| |pet@example.com| pet@example.com| |foo@example.com| foo@example.com| |dan@example.com|dan@example.com| |Joe@example.com|Joe@example.com |
    Caveat - Your Scenario will only work if your email application allows for clustering with distributed contacts on each server. Good Luck :)

    What would be more feasible and attainable is to create a sole mail server as well as a web server and have them separate rather than two mail servers.
