You didn't specify the platform, so I'll suggest a nice, cost-effective
one:
Linux with IPVS (IP Virtual Server). www.linux-ha.com has more
information.

That looks good on paper, and I may be setting up a trial system next
month.

One disadvantage is that solution is that each Zope will have poor
locality-of-reference within the object database. I think I can avoid
that using a squid redirector (www.squid-cache.org). Ill post any
news.

[Zope] suggestions for what to run in front of ZEO'ed zopes for failover?

2000-07-14 Thread Roman Milner


I'm wondering if anyone can suggest something good to run in front of
2 zopes talking to a zeo server - for failover and load balancing.  I
have been using a tool called 'balance' which works really well - but
for failover it only works if the socket to one of the zope servers
doesn't connect.

Thanks,
