our setup (kinda big bucks); dual cf enterprise servers
clustered win2k enterprise attached via fibre to disk array - filesharing to cf servers IIS is mapped to clustered fileshare - CF goes a bit nuts when the fileshare moves between the two cluster fileshare nodes. If you enable trusted cache then this problem is gone and pretty much makes trips to the remote fileshare none existant beyond the initial request. If you're only deploying code then you can create an ANT script to deploy to multiple boxes in a single deployment. Our problem was we run a CMS and you never know which IIS box the request was going to as to where the file could end up On 1/29/07, Russ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Although a true geographically distributed solution would cost a lot of > money, you should be shooting for a cost effective solution at a single NOC. > You have to pick a NOC which you trust to have a reasonable uptime, and then > set up your servers in such a way as to eliminate the single point of > failure. > > I highly recommend that you don't make your DB server that single point of > failure.
