 * Hi, we are trying to load balance MU across multiple servers
 * for example:
 * [http://174.129.42.233/blogs/spreadtheword](http://174.129.42.233/blogs/spreadtheword)
 * and
 * [http://107.22.183.251/blogs/spreadtheword](http://107.22.183.251/blogs/spreadtheword)
 * are exact copies, however something in my configuration is redirecting everything
   to:
 * [http://yovia.com/blogs/________________](http://yovia.com/blogs/________________)
 * I have updated my wp-config.php file to point to the IP which didn’t cause any
   problems:
 * define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘[http://174.129.42.233/blogs/&#8217](http://174.129.42.233/blogs/&#8217););
 * However, because the domain is set to yovia.com, it tries to redirect both installs
   to yovia.com/blogs
 * define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
    define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false ); $base = ‘/
   blogs/’; define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘yovia.com’ );
 * If I try to change ‘yovia.com’ to an IP it gives me database errors. Anyone know
   how to handle just getting WordPress to run without the domain being hardcoded?

 * Solved this. Using AWS load balancing – then use their DNS tool to set the A 
   record the load balancer and keep, assuming you are not also load balancing the
   databases it should work. You might also need to point www to @ via a CNAME
