Robert,

   How about instead of doing this a priori that it be done when there is an 
outage [ie if you suspect an outage, try at that time to connect a TC to a 
given SRS].  This will give the same info unless they are somehow planning on 
using the proposed setup as a continuous early warning system?

It seems like they are substituting using the TC system for real network tools. 
 Do they not have such tools or perhaps can't afford them?

If so, why not come up with an alternative like a simple ping script that 
periodically checks each subnet?  If the goal is to check for network outages, 
there are many ways of doing that besides using the SRS/TC.

Subject: EXTERNAL:Re: [SunRay-Users] Question on Load Balancing

The customer has touch screens attached to Sunray 2's and for troubleshooting 
purposes they would like to set specific DTU's up on specific servers and never 
have that change.  So in the case of an outage when they get reports of a 
certain building or floor going down they will correlate those lost connections 
back to a server.

I have a customer that has a 3 server FOG setup.  Per the customers request 
they want to move a certain number of Sunray's onto each secondary server and 
have them remain there no matter what.  The only way I know how to make a DTU 
stick on a particular server is to take the opposing server offline.  I know 
that is not proper and did some researching and found via the auth.props file 
you can set enableLoadBalancing to false which kills the load balancing 
effect.   What are the cons for doing this?  Will replication be affected? 

Are there any other ways I can accomplish having the DTU's stick on a specific 
server and not load balance?
