Hi,

I understood the problem within dynamic master/slave configuration. In my
approach, when a deployment request is routed to a slave node there will
not be a deployment. I suggest two options to avoid it.
1) Have static master/slave configuration only for deploy process
2) Modify the deployment web service to complie and verify the process and
then copy it to the deploy folder irrespective of whether its a master or
slave, then deployment poller should take care of the deployment
