What's frustrating to me about this stuff is everyone around my company wants to ditch the hardware load balancers. Basically we have had ongoing load distribution problems which I blame on two main things: 1) Using sticky connections on an internal app with too few users to "average out" over time 2) Poorly implemented load balancer configuration that doesn't make use of any app-aware features. Basically pure RR.
The thing is, the more I talk to you guys the convinced I am that the HW LB really is the most powerful tool, but it will be hard to convince the brass around here that the HW LB is not intrinsically bad, its just been poorly configured this whole time when their mind is already sort of set against it. Unfortunately our load balancer is handled by the tech department, not the programming department and they are usually pretty cool to the idea of us getting our grimy hands on it. I think only one person in our company even knows the password. You have to pull teeth to get any changes made. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 10:27 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Targetting an instance Also, best practice would be to have 2 of them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
