Hi Tom,

It is currently a manual process to switch to the mirror. But it is certainly 
something that could be automated. We just have not committed the time to build 
that out. You could do it with 4DLink files, or with dns changes on Amazon. 

A person could also automate spinning up new 4D Client instances to handle big 
increases in traffic. Amazon had a powerful scripting system you can use to 
clone, spin up and shut down instances. You just have to commit the time to 
build it. 

Balinder Walia is an expert in this area. He has automation tools built with 4D 
that you can use to build the automation scripts for doing this on Amazon. He 
did a session at a 4D Summit a few years ago about this.
