Re: Coldfusion Standard and Load balancing env
As Dave notes, hardware load balancing works just fine in front of CF Std servers. The sticky session thing really is key, though, if you have any sort of session management in your applications. Another option to sticky sessions on the LB is to convert session structs to client structs within the applications, but that can be a bit of refactoring work, of course. If you go that route, just be sure to save Client vars to the database NOT the Registry, and understand that client scope can't hold complex data types, so structs, arrays, and queries need to be converted to WDDX or JSON or some other serialized format before they can be assigned to a client var.

There isn't really anything specific to CF configuration here. On the load balancer, you'll probably want to enable sticky sessions, as CF Standard can't replicate session data across CF servers like Enterprise can. That's really all, though.

Coldfusion Standard and Load balancing env
Hi, We currently run coldfusion 9 Standard on a single server, our site has grown and we are looking at adding an additional box and setup a load balancing environment for the site. Here are my questions: * Is Coldfusion Standard sufficient for this environment or will i require enterprise? * If so would anyone know of any good information sources in relation to configuring coldfusion standard for this environment - anything i need to watch out for? Thanks, Sebastian. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341151 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
