I own two servers. One in Singapore (data.example.me) and other one in Europe (eu.data.example.me).
I want the website to serve the users from their closest server when they visit my website.
I configured Nginx on Signapore server using GeoIP Module.
I get "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" when visiting the website (data.example.me) from Europe. From other places it is working fine.
This is the configuration on Europe Server. It has Varnish installed.
# Marker to tell the VCL compiler that this VCL has been adapted to the
# new 4.0 format.
vcl 4.0;
# Default backend definition. Set this to point to your content server.
backend default {
.host = "139.51.1.1"; // Points to Nginx Server in Singapore
.port = "80";
}
On Nginx Server in Singapore configuration is as follows.
map $geoip_city_continent_code $closest_server {
default data.example.me;
EU eu.data.example.me;
}
server {
listen 80 default_server;
