Since we're on the subject of clustercats I was wondering if it can work
with three sites, not necessarily using CF?  I have three sites on one box
(one static/CF and two JSP sites passing requests to a JRUN server on a
different box).  I'd like to implement some type of failover on this box.
But, since there are three sites on three different IP's can clustercats
failover these three IPs to three different IPs.  So, if something happens
on the primary box, all three sites get converted to the backup box? (using
IIS on NT 4)

I've been told that clustercats is only tied to the application server and
wanted to clarify whether or not this it true?  I appreciate any light that
can be shed on this, as the clustercats documentation seems to be lacking.

Thanks!

When I set up our servers the first time I added in clustercats in for load
balancing and it appeared to never work when we load tested.  The IP
failover does work though.  I know with IIS4  that you can install the same
certificate on mutiple machines. What you can try if your having trouble is
using a shorter password when you generate the cert (we had a problem with
to long of a password with a cert before.  If you are trying to get rid of
the IP failover you have to uninstall clustercats and when you reinstall it
just don't select the option for IP assumption. The CF manual isn't very
clear but just read it very closely.
