If you're refering to forcing the core to reload the XML and delete the
parse files on every server, the simplest solution is to just restart each
machine after an update. Since you've got redundancy, you won't take the
site down.
Short of that, you can build in a non-GUI admin interface (web services
spring to mind) included in the app that will take care of resetting the
single server it resides on. Then you just need a way to initiate that
process on each server, which should be pretty simple. If you can get a
list of servers in the cluster, than you just add a GUI superadmin interface
that can send messages to the non-GUI interface of every machine in the
cluster, and you're done. Neither part is particularly complex. Depending
on what you're using for load balancing, the hardest part might well be
getting a current list of machines in the cluster.
We've got a cluster running two separate apps. The FB4 app has a single
hook (via a non-index.cfm base template) that uses separate security from
the application's user security, and when called, will delete the parse
files, and clear the application.fusebox struct. Each machine has a "direct
line" as it were, on a non-published IP address, so we just use a bookmark
folder in FireFox and the "Open in Tabs" feature to load all the individual
servers scripts in one fell swoop. Not as automated as it could be, but
it's well more than adequate for our needs.
