Using the standard enterprise connector for Apache and IIS, if you put the servers in the cluster, they will share the load. You might be able to configure a different LB algorithm (maybe a 99%/1% weighted), and this should give you what you're looking for - i.e. most requests going to the prd server, and only 1% going to the testing server, until there is a failure in the prd server.
I've never set up the weighted scenario, but it should be possible. http://livedocs.adobe.com/jrun/4/JRun_Administrators_Guide/clustering3.htm Russ > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Wright [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 2:27 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: server failover/multiple instances > > Any opinions/advice on this? > > On 6/18/07, Jim Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am working towards beefing up our current environment, and wondered > > if I could get some opinions on server failover and using multiple > > instances. > > So I have: > > Production Site > > Training Site, duplication of the production site which is used by our > > training department > > Testing Site > > > > In addition we want to have high availability on the production > > site....we don't need load balancing, mainly just failover. > > > > I'm thinking of getting two copies of Enterprise, setting one up as > > the production server, and the other as a failover/training/testing > > server, with each of those in separate instances, and putting the > > production and failover instances in a cluster.
