My personal opinion is that if you are writing multi platform
software using something like the registry is a not so great
idea. Heck relying on the registry is a not so great idea just
given the chance it has of going corrupt from some other
software screwing it up.

Where, if you wrote your own configuration database which
should not be incredibly complex since I have written something
very similar just on a smaller scale for a C program I was working
with. I realize they use the registry for things like client
variables but I just think the whole idea is a bit hokey and I
wouldnt trust it at all.

Makes no sense to destabalize your software so much when the
solution is not that difficult.

corruption and cf scheduler problems


I don't think there will ever be any resolution to the registry problems...
my suspicion has always been that the problem lied with the Bristol
libraries, since Allaire wouldn't say a damn word about it. Granted, they
never wanted to talk much about Solaris, but at least they would look at
other issues. You might want to try your luck with a premium support ticket,
or hunt down someone like Sim Simeonov at Allaire, and maybe they'll
actually get you a fix. But my suspicion is that they'll just tell you to
upgrade.

What we ended up doing was regularly pulling one machine out, replacing the
registry, rebooting... crappy? Yes! But it at least keeps up the appearance
of functioning servers.

Good luck,
Ed.
