assume we have 2 wfe, 2app,2db servers clustered.
in case of creating a new web app is there a way to specify on which web server the appln can be hosted?
requirement is assume if servers are hosted in ny and adding a new server to the farm for wfe and one for db.
i would like to join them to the farm but while creating new web app i need to specify to which server the new web appln can be hosted and to which db it can sit, in that way the users from diff location can navigate to the new web appln directly to the server instead goin thro ny.Â
if the requiremnent is nt enouf, let me know i can provide additional inputs on it
This is not how SharePoint works!
If you click on Servers in this farm in CA all the servers where this serice “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application” is running will host the Web App and be ready for listening and rendering web sites to the user.
You can restrict this via DNS entries and routing. You can have your load balancer direct our specific URL queries to specific WFE so this way load of one particular SP site and traffic on it wont affect the other.
Hope this answers your question !
