It was the two tier caching for performance and the auto flush that appealed to me ... serving lots of thumbnail images which occasionally get updated, and over time get outdated and unused, being replaced in use, and cache, by others. Pity then sob doesn't do binary ...
Any advice from experience on nproxy in relation to scaling and load Damien -----Original Message----- From: AOLserver Discussion on behalf of Michael Andrews Sent: Fri 10/26/2007 2:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AOLSERVER] nsdci query In general, I find the SOB model works well. The caching on the server and the client provide unmatched performance. The NCF provides a mechanism to flush the cache on updates. The Devil is always in the details. How you set up multiple SOB servers and then get the publishes to multiple SOB servers can certainly create scaling and topology management issues. Most sites to do not have the demands that AOL has - and a simple SOB solution would be nice addition to any content distribution system. However there are advantages to stateless systems. :-) (How's that for diplomatic) M On Oct 25, 2007, at 10:19 AM, Dossy Shiobara wrote: > On 2007.10.25, Jay Rohr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> In general, I would not recommend using sob.
