In shared server environments like that typically I have seen people set up
a dedicated image machine that is not running cf or anything to bog it down
that does nothing but serve images to the other servers.  It's a great way
to increase performance of the sites serving/processing content as well.  If
you want to see a working example go to http://shopping.yahoo.com/ and look
at where all the images are stored.

Then as need increases more image servers are added to back each other up.

Subject: OT: Automatic File synchronization between clustered servers.


I have an issue with a client who has a shared server environment (2 SERVERS
RUNNING WIN NT) and due to the set up of the site and affiliate sites the
client requires image files
on both server boxes.

The problem is that the images that are uploaded often don't copy to both
places because of network contention etc...I am performing a cffile to the
share from either direction.

I have been looking for something that will do an automatic file compare and
copy to maintain uniformity between two directories.  Has anyone run into
this and found a solution??
