i always tried to think how is that possible, but i never got a anwser

some big projects like facebook and others may require very resources
So they run multi instalations of thier project (Web Application) in a different number of servers

The question is:
a big web application is installed in 4 diferent nodes to hold many requests at same time
node 1 is under load, so request will be redirected to other server with less load

now if they all have same instalation how they all have same information (Database) and now they comunicate

The keywords you want to search for are clustering and load balancing. Have fun :)
