Actually, for a ColdFusion Cluster, you just need more than one ColdFusion instance, not more than one webserver. You don't even need more than one machine. Two CF instances can be clustered and provide CF Application Server failover and loadbalancing for a single webserver box. Really what is being discussed here is failover and loadbalancing for more than one webserver. CF's web connector will handle sticky (or not) sessions inside the CF cluster regardless of which webserver answers the request.
You can use many of the hardware solutions out there to provide load balancing in front of your webserver, and there are some software based solutions as well. Are you looking for specific brands of products beyond what have already been posted (for webservers)? Or are you strictly talking about ColdFusion Clustering behind the webserver(s)? -Cameron Mark Ireland wrote: > Dont people who are considering building a coldfusion cluster already have > some sort of load balancing, failover setup already in place? > > If so, can I get some detailed examples? > > Thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
