If I have a server on DigitalOcean in NY and I want to expand so I have a server on the West Coast and one in Amsterdam - Which I can do on DigOcean BTW - How do I replicate the site and make sure the surfers go to the correct/closest server?...

For example - EddyTheDog.com is on a NY1 server - I want it in all 3 locations and distributed - Also if one fails then of course it goes to the next.....

I am sure all 3 of my regular surfers will cope if I go down for a few hours - Its more of a learning exercise...

I know I can distribute traffic via SRV - But that's not really good enough.....

So replication is the first issue and traffic management is the second - Where should I look for good basic info?..

To all the idiots who are going to say 'GoogleIsYourFreind' - Don't bother - I have some of the best people in the biz here, I may as well make use of them
