Its ok. If you ONLY have 1 IIS server, then you are NOT doing DNS load balancing. If your IIS server is at IP 10.0.1.1, then your domain points to it, (www.mysite.com 10.0.1.1) then the is no dns load balancing. When the request comes into your IIS server, the witango plugin looks at the

Robert, I don't mean to question, but I would like to understand. I don't have IIS running on the second server. I don't understand DNS load balancing, but are you running all of your Witango websites on both of the servers that you are running IIS and the Witango Client and then using DNS Load B

In IIS, you set the home directory as a share on another computer. You set the path using UNC notation, like \\server1\webfiles\mysite or whatever. This path must point to same files for the IIS server, and all witango services. I have a setup with 7 servers for instance. 2 IIS servers with

Before you move to nine you need to make sure that you are not using the "show" DB technique for ODBC. If you have DB A with data in it and DB B with no data but references to the A tables and you connect through B then you are better off sticking with 8 until the update to the ODBC plug in

Sure, we have seen those too with FM7; 8 has resolved some of those issues for us. These are cases where something happens like a network hiccup that kills the connection. This is definitely a case where the db connection is not properly closed. It's also a situation that is bound to hap

An astute observation David, I like it. Of course none of us can (or are trying to) speak for Phil, who by the way graciously lets us rant and rave about him on "his" email list server. But if you couple David's assessment with a previous post of mine, I think some things come into perspective.
