Yes, the configuration that you're talking about would be ideal as it would
be a true load-balanced/failover solution since the filesystem store is no
longer a single point of failure as it is with the Slide cluster solution.

But James, will what you're doing with cache notifications allow us to setup
multiple Slide servers without cache clustering enabled so that a write to
one server will be propagated to the disk, and not just the cache, of the
other servers? Ie. will the cache notifications that you send contain the
actual updated content from the server that received the update so that the
other servers can write it to disk too; or does the notification just let
the other servers know that they need to flush their version of an object
from the cache and reread it from disk the next time it is accessed?

Thanks,
Warwick

Hello Burrows,

      I asked this specific question because we have a production deployment
not clustered  but, all server instances are deployed on different boxes and
managed thru a H/W loadbalancer. Right now we are routing all Slide server
request to a particular server instance. I was investigating how we can
synchronize the cache information b/w multiple servers which is running on
different machines.

     I really appreciate James and his teams effort to do the cache
synchronization implemenation in Jakarta Slide2.1.

  So we really waiting for August 10 to release the Slide2.1.

rgds
Daniel
