We've covered this by having a networked drive which is shared by both our servers.

I've got some scripts I'm working on at the moment which, in theory, should force a CFHTTP request to go a specified server. Therefore by-passing the round-robin. Almost got it up and running but the idea is we can then loop over the servers and do the reinit one at a time. > Another - less frequent task is when types/rules change, you need to > reinit the application on all servers to ensure that this is kicks in. > This is possibly less important to automate as these changes should be > done as part of planned maintenance. Again covered by the script I mentioned but you're right it's not something we tend to do manually much on the test and production servers as ColdFusion is restarted on each server as part of our ANT deployment. So everything is cleared from scratch and loaded in. We also clear the CF Template cache on each server as we're deploying as well. --- I've not looked into this quite yet but I think my main issue here are... 1) Where is the objectBroker stored? Assuming in the application scope but if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great :-) 2) Assuming I do find it how do I know which server is the most up to date? Is the ObjectBroker timestamped on refresh in anyway? In which case I'd need to do a check on the current condition of all our servers, find out which one is the most recent to date and then apply the changes to the oldest one. I guess locking the application scope and refreshing the objectBroker would be the best approach? Need to look at the CFCs and see what methods deal with that. That's the approach. In terms of implimenting it... work in progress :-) Cheers, James -- You received this message cos you are subscribed to "farcry-dev" Google group.
