Okay, so, I can set one up with the config, make a snapshot of that machine, then bring up more instances from that snapshot. I'll have to figure out how to manage the IP addresses of the hosts that I bring up; might have to manually edit the config file after they're brought up.

I did find the two IPs, internal and external. One thing that's becoming clear is what was listening on 6800 vs 80: 6800 is for internal communication among servers. Not sure if it's used in the single-server case, but I understand. > When you start Resin with "start-all" (or the /etc/init.d script), Resin > will compare its own IP address with the configuration IP addresses in > app_servers and web_servers and start itself as the local address. (Does > that make sense?) Yes, I think so. After I make some dinner I'll try to go through your original email and get a couple servers running. The first server will be my load balancer, which will hit itself and the other server. MySQL can sit on the first server (although I imagine in that configuration, it might make sense for it to sit on the other server, since the first has the added burden of being the load balancer). Thanks! I'm rather excited to try running multiple machines, and see how badly my code breaks. -- Rick _______________________________________________ resin-interest mailing list resin-interest@caucho.com http://maillist.caucho.com/mailman/listinfo/resin-interest
