Session replication is a bear and difficult to support. I avoid it when possible.

I should have left that one out of it.. It seems to have hidden the real question which is: "what is the 100% correct way to create a cluster as this." Thanks, Helge -----Original Message----- From: Jason Fisher [mailto:ja...@wanax.com] Subject: Re: Clustering ColdFusion - some "black holes" I agree with Dave on this one: set sticky sessions on the LB, and let each web server stand independently so there are no single failure points. If you need true failover, refactor the apps to use client vars and store them in a database for clean 'session' replication across the web servers. ---------------------------------------- From: "Dave Watts" <dwa...@figleaf.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 9:11 AM To: "cf-talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Subject: Re: Clustering ColdFusion - some "black holes" > Goal: > One rock stable high performance ColdFusion cluster with session replication and quick > failover Is there a specific requirement for session replication? Because you might get generally better results if you just use sticky sessions. That buys you load balancing, but not complete failover - but it may be enough, if your failure rate is acceptably low. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341183 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
