Hi Stephen native CouchDB does not have a concept of clustering. There are a number of other couchdb -related projects that do - for example lounge - http://tilgovi.github.com/couchdb-lounge/ For CouchDB instead you setup replication between each couch, that's enough. Each couch is aware of its own replication partners & this is done over HTTP. It's awesomely simple: http://guide.couchdb.org/editions/1/en/replication.html http://guide.couchdb.org/editions/1/en/balancing.html http://guide.couchdb.org/editions/1/en/clustering.html cheers Dave
