Agreed -- either put the files onto a file server that is accessed by all
machines in the cluster OR
have all uploads happen on one machine. This is more possible when
administrators are the ones uploading files. You have them work on one machine,
do the uploads there and then part of the code FTP's (or otherwise copies) the
uploaded out to all the machines in the cluster. The primary advantage to this
method is that the file server could be a single point of failure -- if it goes
down, then all the machines in the cluster are going to have problems.
Additionally, with the images on each machine you may have been better
performance.

Subject: Re: Cffile and clustering
Create a mapped network drive on each machine that points to a shared
folder somewhere.
Make sure that all the CF Servers can access the shared folder with write
permission.
Serve all image files with the path to the mapped network drive on the CF
Server. You can pretty easily create a server variable that points to the
path for the images if you have different drive letters on different servers.
filename shouldn't be an issue. Either the filename should be obvious - eg.
banner343.gif, or it should be stored in the database.
