Our Spectra system is only used by an editorial team to produce Flat pages, our site gets millions of hits an hour, therefore we don't serve Spectra pages where we can get away with it, We have a CF powered system for flattening pages on a schedule or on demand, this work very well as when Spectra keels over, we still have a site.... It also allows our growing editorial team to take advantage of clusted spectra system. >Presumably you've had to hack cfa_page and cfa_container (and their >children) to achieve this?

Yes verity collections sit on the share finally Good Luck -----Original Message----- From: Andy Fletcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 20 February 2002 09:00 To: Spectra-Talk Subject: RE: Clustered ColdFusion Servers for Spectra > To get round this you can force the MACHINE to REBUILD the part of the > Sitemodel stored in the SERVER scope before checking that the page exists, > this is'nt completely safe as two machines could do this at > EXACTLY the same > time. Ah... I understand now, by refreshing the site model beforehand it will always make sure that it's got the most recent updates out of the db first. More robust than me trying to notify all the servers that I think are currently in the cluster. > Another way is to only allow Page and Container creation if a URL > parameter > is provided, this is the way we do it... So what do you do if the url param isn't provided? Not display anything or maybe redirect to another member server?

Makes sense. What have you done about Verity collections? Do you keep local copies of them on each machine or share them too? > Which code do you want????? Should be ok without it. I think I understand what's going on now. Cheers, Andy ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
