Robert, I don't mean to question, but I would like to understand.
I don't have IIS running on the second server. I don't understand DNS load balancing, but are you running all of your Witango websites on both of the servers that you are running IIS and the Witango Client and then using DNS Load Balancing to spread the requests across both servers? If so, it makes sense to have the UNC notation you have indicated below so you only have to place all the files in one location. Thanks, Steve -----Original Message----- From: Robert Garcia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 05, 2007 4:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Load Balancing Test In IIS, you set the home directory as a share on another computer. You set the path using UNC notation, like \\server1\webfiles\mysite or whatever. This path must point to same files for the IIS server, and all witango services. I have a setup with 7 servers for instance. 2 IIS servers with witango plugins, and 6 witango servers and one file server they can all see with same UNC path. When IIS gets a request, it passes it on to witango service with path, and the witango service pulls the file and processes. -- Robert Garcia President - BigHead Technology VP Application Development - eventpix.com 13653 West Park Dr Magalia, Ca 95954 ph: 530.645.4040 x222 fax: 530.645.4040 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bighead.net/ - http://eventpix.com/ On Oct 5, 2007, at 2:34 PM, Fogelson, Steve wrote: > Robert, > > Where in Windows, IIS or Witango do you indicate or use this?
