Hi Sebastian,

I am currently out of the office, but here is a quick answer.

The approach you describe should work as long as you are just using Sequoia as a load balancer. However, if the native DB clients are doing any schema changes, you will have to force a schema refresh in Sequoia. This can be done by executing a stored procedure without semantic information. Another option is to disable and then re-enable the backend where the schema has changed.
Would you say, that you can omit the RAIDb-1s in our architecture? Would that solve the consistancy problem?
Yes you can definitely omit the RAIDb-1 controllers and connect the backends to the RAIDb-0 controller 1 layer above. Note that as you don't replicate any data, you will not have any consistency problem (unless you use a ResultCache and modify data directly with the native database console).

Hope this helps,
Emmanuel
