Note that for setting up grids where all simulators belong to the same
authority, ppl don't need to use any servers whatsoever other than a SQL
server and the simulators themselves. The "grid mode" with its resource
serv*ers* has been popularized because of OSGrid; but OSGrid is a very
special case -- each simulator belongs to a different person; it would
be very unwise to share the MySql DB password with everyone.
When all simulators are under the same authority, you may as well let
them access the DB directly. It simplifies things by a lot. MySql
servers are mature pieces of software that can take a lot of heat
without breaking a sweat.

Hi,
The Diva distro is intended for a simple standalone ("sandbox") type system.
It was never intended to be a "fork", only a really simple way to get
started with a standard configuration.
If you want to spread the load across a grid then the normal stable
release is the way to go - the actual coding differences are minimal,
only your config file should change.
Obviously you would then switch to running in "grid" mode in your config
file. :-)
I have not tried the new ROBUST grid setup, but the config informaiton
that you used witht he Diva distro should be enough to get you started
at least. The config.ini.example file is quite well documented.

Greetings! I’ve used the diva distro to setup OpenSim but found it
too much for a single box when a class of 20 jumps on. I was hoping
to set up a grid with five servers sharing the load. Would anyone
know of any good links to do this using ubuntu9 boxes? I have
looked but none really example using multiple servers for a grid,
just one server to setup a grid. Is this the optimal setup? Being
a school district we can’t afford to just by a ‘whopper’ server to
run it on just one but we really want a whole class inworld.
Thanks,
Don
