Thank you for the information. I had not noticed this feature and assumed that attachments would cause a problem with load balancing. I would still prefer not to put the sessions and attachments in a DB but I can see how this is a good way to cluster roundcube. > Using the database attachments plugin recently merged into head in > combination with the already existing database backed sessions, we are > able to run one instance of roundcube across many machines with DNS > load > balancing. DNS balancing is a good solution but I still believe that the patch - and cookie based routing - has its advantages. - You can force new sessions on the machines with the lowest load/ number of connection, DNS load balancing does not provide as much control over the repartition of the load. - Not all DNS will round-robin multiple A records ( dnscache does not for example ) so you may still find one of your machine getting most of the load if you do not control your users.
