Wonder if anyone can help with this one... I am writing an app which needs to send messages through a gateway (via calling a page on another server using <cfhttp>) An answer to this message should be recieved within 5 minutes, or the message should be sent again, upto a max of 5 times... Problem is, how do I get the server to try again within 5 mins... 1 way would be to have a list of pending messages in the database, with a flag as to when last sent, and a record as to how many times the message had been sent, and then have a scheduled task running every 5 min on the server that looks in this table, and if there are any pennding messages takes the apporiate action (i.e resend or flag as failed). The only thing is, I am very concerned as to how this will effect server performance - particularly as the site will not be on a dedicated server, and there is the possibility in the future that large numbers of messages may need to be sent at once... Any ideas /advice???
