Got a vps today running centos 5. The company gave me 2 ip addy's. I pinged both from my current location and it seems the ping to the 'aditional ip' is much lower. I'm in shanghai and the vps is in los angeles. The round-trip ping to the aditional ip is 190ms (not bad for 6500miles away), whereas to the default ip it is over 300ms.
Anyone know how i can configure centos to use only the aditional ip? Also, do you think there's a reason for this big change in ping? The 2 ip's only vary by the very last digit and only bye one. Thanks.
Run a traceroute on both of them and compare. It could be as simple as a port on a switch somewhere along the route that is causing heavy latency.It could be more complicated. MTR will actually give you the best indication of where along the line the slowdown is. – MaQleod – 2011-04-22T03:42:11.667
