I'm thinking of getting two copies of Enterprise, setting one up as the production server, and the other as a failover/training/testing server, with each of those in separate instances, and putting the production and failover instances in a cluster.
*-*-*-*- I would recommend keeping your testing/training environment separate from production. Your testing environment may require newly developed code which has not been migrated to production. You probably will want a separate database as well for training and testing for similar reasons. ============================= If I put them in a cluster, does that mean they are going to share the load 50/50, or can I make one of them still take the brunt of the traffic unless there is a failure? Is there a better way to do it? *-*-*-*-*-*- If you are talking about instances of CF in a JRUN cluster, they will equally share the load. JRUN's load balancing is based on Round Robin, with the option to weight the servers if one has beefier hardware. If a cluster goes down, JRUN will automatically start sending the traffic to another instance and if session replication is enabled, the users session will follow them. There are endless setups really depending on what you want. ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
