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.

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. -- Thank you, Robert Jaudon On 7/2/2010 11:33 AM, Stuart wrote: May I ask the reason for having a particular DTU stick to a specific sun ray server??

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? _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
