Hello,
I am developing a rails application and have encountered the problem
of splitting up traffic coming to the domain. As an example, I would
like to mention that let''s say we have 5 visitors per day to the
domain. We want to split the traffic and redirect them to different
locations:
example.com - Redirecting each visitor to different URL
Visitors 1 is redirected to - redirect_to("http://www.example1.com/")
Visitors 2 is redirected to - redirect_to("http://www.example2.com/")
Visitors 3 is redirected to - redirect_to("http://www.example3.com/")
Visitors 4 is redirected to - redirect_to("http://www.example4.com/")
Visitors 5 is redirected to - redirect_to("http://www.example5.com/")
Any idea how this can be accomplished?
Thanks a lot in advance

have you looked at mongrel clustering for example? -- jon http://technicaldebt.com On Feb 24, 1:49 pm, Maxo <malk...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hello, > > I am developing a rails application and have encountered the problem > of splitting up traffic coming to the domain.

Thank you Jon, but I am more looking for a simpler solution, because in the real world scenario I will have 10 different domains, so I have to split the traffic for each of them to different URL.

Because we are testing different ways to monetize the traffic and want to split them to send to multiple providers like (Valueclick, Rightmedia, etc...) After that we are gathering the information regarding the revenue per provider and doing analysis. After the analysis, we are amending our traffic redirection method to send the traffic to the provider with is paying the highest.

By looking at what each of these providers pays to you on a per click or per referral basis will do half or more of the work for you. You don''t need to start redirecting traffic to figure out who is going to pay you more. You need a calculator and a hypothetical number of users. If you''re insisting on taking the long route then you can just place the list of redirect domains into an array and randomly select one each time a user comes to the site. Alternately you can keep track of what number user has arrived by using an instance variable counter. The counter number matches a position in the array that the domains are kept in. Each time the counter increments it uses the domain for that position to redirect to. At the end of the array, reset the counter.
