[KCFusion] ColdFusion Failover

2001-09-04 Thread Mark Kirkbride

Hello all,
If I need to have a failover situation, do I need two servers
running Windows 2000 Advanced and ColdFusion Enterprise?  Or can this be
done with another combination?

CF Enterprise includes ClusterCats, which can be used with any version of
NT/2000 (not just NTAS) for load-balancing and failover.

Beware: session variables don't load-balance well, since they aren't
actually shared across servers.  ClusterCats uses some DNS trickery to
stick a given session to one server or the other, for the life of the
session.  In sticky sessions mode, load balancing is only performed on the
first hit, so it's not as smooth as it could be if session variables weren't
used.

HTH
