We use Double Take for mirroring/replication and failover. Works with SQL
etc. For us, it's a fantastic product!

Subject: RE: CF Clustering
If you look on the Allaire web site, you will find lots of information
regarding clustering.
We also wanted to use clusering for load balancing and failover, but we
didn't want to have to manually copy updated files into two places. I read
somewhere on the Allaire site that when ClusterCats was owned by Bright
Tiger, they had a replication solution, but it wasn't included in the
version of ClusterCats that ships with CF Enterprise (you had to purchase an
upgrade from Bright Tiger). But after Allaire bought Bright Tiger, mention
of that feature disappeared.
Anyway, I called Allaire yesterday to find out what they suggest for
replication and the rep is supposed to call me back. Let me know if you're
interested and I will pass along his answer.

Subject: CF Clustering
Does anyone have a link or pointer to information regarding how to
cluster CF web servers? We're looking to upgrade our web and database
servers and I'd like to hear about the various approaches taken to
clustering CF web servers.
Ideally, I'd like to achieve load-balancing and failover via redundancy.
For our purposes the load-balancing doesn't have to be perfect, but the
failover must be automatic and transparent. I'm assuming we'd run
several redundant web/CF servers connected to a common MS SQL server.
For the time being, I don't think we'd run a common fileserver for the
web site templates or other static content. Files would need to be
replicated on all servers.
With this configuration, I was wondering about things like the best way
to (1) achieve the load balancing (hardware and/or software needs?),
considering that CF sessions need to be maintained (2) a good means of
replicating content accross servers (3) other considerations?
Thanks for any input,
Jim
