You could use Terracotta to create a cluster of Lift machines, but you're still going to be a lot better off routing requests back to the same machine to avoid shuffling a lot of state around (which is expensive any way you slice it) If you could tell us more about your app, there might be other ways to skin your cat. http://icanhascheezburger.com/2007/08/08/i-has-minions/ Thanks, David > > Thanks in advance > > John > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Lift" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<liftweb%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/liftweb?hl=en. > -- Lift, the simply functional web framework http://liftweb.net Beginning Scala http://www.apress.com/book/view/1430219890 Follow me: http://twitter.com/dpp Surf the harmonics -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
