Well, yes and no. LocalDirector will do the load balancing piece just fine by itself. ClusterCATS, from what I understand, can integrate with LocalDirector to provide monitoring of the specific CF service, rather than just a heartbeat on the overall server up/down status.

If I use a load balancing router like the Cisco LoadDirector or CoyotePoint Equalizer to distribute requests between two Cold Fusion web servers, why do I need ClusterCATS? I use a database repository for Client variables. I dont client specific session or application variables. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Theobald, Chief Technology Officer LiquidStreaming http://www.liquidstreaming.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone 1.212.545.1232 Fax 1.212.679.8032 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
