Jason, how do you know you must have a resident instance to get warmup requests to work? I don't see this anywhere in the docs. And to enable one do I just define a backend in backends.xml?
I'm pretty sure warmups were working for me before but haven't seen them happening in the logs for a while now. I don't know if I did anything on my end but I've been trying to turn them on and nothing I do works. thanks On Thursday, March 8, 2012 7:53:32 PM UTC-8, Jason Collins wrote: > > Jeff, I see very similar behaviour in pythonland - i.e., the resident > instance gets almost no traffic.
