Would someone mind giving me a quick 'synopsis' or what replication is all
about? Presumably this is so you can run two identical setups with a network
load balancer in the middle?

I'm sure that blind guess is complete wrong though :-D just trying to learn
something new.

Thanks guys,

Rob

I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm excited about this, but session
replication in CF 7 and earlier is essentially half a feature. It's an
annoyance to hear that a product supports "neat feature x" and "neat feature
y", but unfortunately you have to pick one or the other. Just like with
query caching and CFQUERYPARAM.

Several of our clients are using it, because they want a higher level of
failover than they can have without it. Why is that so hard to understand?
