No - in fact, it merely introduces another single point of failure, which I assume is what you want to avoid. However, you need *something* that will choose whether the primary or standby instance receives any given request from the user. You could use any appropriate approach - changing IP addresses, one or more front-end gateways that detect failed requests, whatever meets your requirements. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
