Assuming you have the following to run: MSSQL2k, LiveStats, IIS, CFMX6.1 (maybe eventually 7) , IMail (or some other mail server with POP, SMTP and webmail access) FTP services. And you have 2 identical adjacent machines each with: Dual 2.8 Ghz Xeon processors, 4 GB RAM, 3x73GB SCSI 10K rpm disks, in RAID (5?) array Win2k server OS The machines each have a dedicated NIC for talking to each other, and then a separate public NIC card Here's what I was thinking: Box 1) CF, Backup MSSQL (via mssql automatic replication), and IIS just for CFM pages at www.domain.com, and backup SMTP Box 2) primary MSSQL, IIS for images/static at img.domain.com , and primary SMTP server Boxes would have shared drive so Box 1 can upload static images to Box2... Box 2 would run a backup instance of CF, and have a copy of the code in case it needs to be activated. Static images which have changed would be copied from Box 2 to Box 1 every X hours. I was thinking of having IIS on img.domain.com redirect empty requests to the real www.domain.com and set up domain.com to have DNS of IP1, IP2, and img.domain.com = IP2, IP1 What would you do, and is this overengineering? What would you do if one box goes down? -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.
