Also, in cases where the servers are a pretty straightforward swap for each other ( http://server1/foo/bar.cfm is restored from tape and becomes http://server2/foo/bar.cfm ) it is often easiest to do some DNS trickery (if your DNS record time-to-live isn't set too high). Alter the DNS record of server1 to be a CNAME for server2 and then it'll answer to both names.
Then you can reconstruct server1 and just do your testing of it by IP address directly or assign it a temporary name. -CPC On 8/21/07, Seth Bienek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Generally, I have swapped the IP addresses on the Production and Backup > servers, and verified that other configuration settings are correct (web > server settings, mappings, etc.) > > Seth > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 11:09 AM > To: Houston ColdFusion Users' Group > Subject: [houcfug] disaster recovery issue > > > We have many urls hardcoded to our applications servers on our > internet and intranet sites.
