    <p>The biggest issue in something like this is what happens when players are near a boundary. Obviously they need to be able to see and interact with each other, but they're on separate servers. So you need some pretty fancy inter-server communication, sometimes just duplicating messages to both servers. It can get even more complicated when someone is near a "corner", and then you have to deal with 4 servers!</p> <p>The book <a href="http://amzn.com/1584502436" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Massively Multiplayer Game Development</a> has a chapter on "The Pitfalls of Shared Server Boundaries" which covers this issue in detail.</p> <p>I haven't heard of Linux Virtual Server before now, so I don't understand how it fits. I think your actual server application needs to support this game-specific load balancing, rather than trying to run a cluster and assuming that it will automatically know how to split up your application (which it won't). If I were you, I would write the server program to handle its own piece of land, and it should connect to the pieces of land around it, and then design a server-to-server protocol for the passing of these messages ("here comes a player, I'm going to start telling you about him!" "make sure to tell me about messages near our boundary", "okay the player is out of my territory and into yours, here's his detailed data", etc). I think it's a bit more complicated than just running a different flavor of Linux and assuming you'll get automatic load balancing.</p>

    1. COa. the world of my game is not seamless, so I don't need to handle complex situations as describe(and yes, I have read MMGD 1 and 2) b. please read my first post once again, I'm not assuming LVS will do some magic for me. What I really need is working example of Level 7 balancing working under LVS. Perdition(www.vergenet.net/linux/perdition) seems one of such examples.

    2. COWell sorry, I guess I missed the point then... I can't find much info about "level 7 balancing" on Google, and I don't fully understand how applications are written to take advantage of KTCPVS or Linux Virtual Server. I guess I'd have to read more into it. Sorry I couldn't help!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
