<title>Add a proxy server</title>
<para>For reliability, you add proxy servers. You can
set up an additional proxy node the same way
that you set up the first proxy node but with
additional configuration steps.</para>
<para>After you have more than two proxies, you must
load balance them; your storage endpoint (what
clients use to connect to your storage) also
changes. You can select from different
strategies for load balancing. For example,
you could use round-robin DNS, or a software
or hardware load balancer (like pound) in
front of the two proxies, and point your
storage URL to the load balancer.</para>
<para>Configure an initial proxy node. Then, complete
these steps to add proxy servers.</para>
<procedure>
<step>
<para>Update the list of memcache
servers in the
<filename>/etc/swift/proxy-server.conf</filename>
file for added proxy servers. If
you run multiple memcache servers,
use this pattern for the multiple
IP:port listings in each proxy
server configuration file:</para>
<literallayout class="monospaced">10.1.2.3:11211,10.1.2.4:11211</literallayout>
<literallayout class="monospaced">[filter:cache]
use = egg:swift#memcache
memcache_servers = &lt;PROXY_LOCAL_NET_IP&gt;:11211</literallayout>
</step>
<step>
<para>Copy ring information to all
nodes, including new proxy nodes.
Also, ensure that the ring
information gets to all storage
nodes.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>After you sync all nodes, make
sure that the admin has keys in
<filename>/etc/swift</filename> and
the ownership for the ring file is
correct.</para>
</step>
</procedure>
