ESSAY QUESTION:

[Harriet Tubgirl]

ESSAY QUESTION: Describe how you would create a fault tolerant, n+1 redundant, no single point of failure, linux cluster that gives public Internet users a PHP generated page served by Apache that displays the page count hit from data stored in MySQL. Assume this cluster will be racked in a state-of-the-art co-location facility. Also, explain how you would harden this cluster considering MySQL should only be accessible from the cluster, and administrator access to the cluster will be made over the public Internet. Be as specific as possible (go as low level as you wish, tweaking /proc, compiling kernel modules, generation of RSA keys, whatever).

This makes me feel dumb lol

Anyone else think that the company is currently facing that problem and are just looking for free consulting advice?

Actually, that briefly did cross my mind. 😛

I couldn't give a completely satisfactory answer to that without some more research, because I've never done it before.... but honestly, it doesn't sound all that hard to do, to me.
