Best practice: setting up multiple global stratum servers

[ppanther]

We are running a litecoin pool and like too add additional global stratum servers to reduce latency for miners from different countries.

What is the best practice to do this?

a) install each external stratum node with own litecoind and own mysql
b) install each external stratum node with own ltecoind and vpn tunnel to central mysql
c) install external stratum node and vpn tunnel to central litecoind and central mysql

Thank you very much for your help,
ppanther

I've said it before, and I'm saying it again.  If you're asking these questions, you shouldn't be running a pool.

Maybe you did not read the full post. I cut it down to the essential questions.
Anybody here having a recommendation?

Maybe you didn't read my whole post, so I've cut it down for you:

You shouldn't be running a pool.

Hope that helps.

Everybody is a beginner sometimes. You'll never get advanced without the help and wisdom of others.

This question is definite legitim to be raised and answered.

Going by the lack of responses, I don't think you're going to get any help. 

I think that most pool operators are running their own methods, which they probably don't want to share on an open forum, or at all. Many pools are under attack daily by DDoS attacks, and posting the pool's configuration is probably a massive security issue.

I run a small network at work, and I'm not, and never will post it's configuration on the internet - it's just asking for trouble.  A big flashing red sign over my IP saying "Hack me!".


I suggest you start googling, reading white papers, and looking at network security and firewalling.
