Since livestats can be configured to use your MSSQL box, I'd stick those on the same machine from an operational point of view anyway, but this does mean your database box will need to be web accessible so people can view their stats. It usually preferable (for us anyway) that the database box is not accessible from the internet for anythgin but management.
Everything else I'd put on the other machine. Personally I wouldn't do any backup SQL replication with only 2 boxes, I wouldn't spread the web site over the 2 machines either. -----Original Message----- From: Katz, Dov B (IT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 January 2005 12:22 To: CF-Talk Subject: divide and conquer (how to deploy cf, db, ftp, iis, etc over 2 boxes) Assuming you have the following to run: MSSQL2k, LiveStats, IIS, CFMX6.1 (maybe eventually 7) , IMail (or some other mail server with POP, SMTP and webmail access) FTP services. And you have 2 identical adjacent machines each with: Dual 2.8 Ghz Xeon processors, 4 GB RAM, 3x73GB SCSI 10K rpm disks, in RAID (5?) array Win2k server OS The machines each have a dedicated NIC for talking to each other, and then a separate public NIC card Here's what I was thinking: Box 1) CF, Backup MSSQL (via mssql automatic replication), and IIS just for CFM pages at www.domain.com, and backup SMTP Box 2) primary MSSQL, IIS for images/static at img.domain.com , and primary SMTP server Boxes would have shared drive so Box 1 can upload static images to Box2... Box 2 would run a backup instance of CF, and have a copy of the code in case it needs to be activated. Static images which have changed would be copied from Box 2 to Box 1 every X hours. I was thinking of having IIS on img.domain.com redirect empty requests to the real www.domain.com and set up domain.com to have DNS of IP1, IP2, and img.domain.com = IP2, IP1 What would you do, and is this overengineering? What would you do if one box goes down? -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.
