Isnt it easier to "calculate" if the hlds fits on a server before enabling the service? Or have a predifined sollution and depending on what the theoretical max usage will be, open up on a machine that have enough power?
Since hlds is not suited for a cluster sollution, why try to force it to do so? A HA sollution might be interesting just so the service is always up and running. but then you have to take into account that it will be a small downtime when you roll up the service on the other node. /Bjorn On Thu, 7 Sep 2006, Marcel wrote: > Hi, > > I tested this one or two years ago and it caused lagg while transfering > the process to another node.
