If you ensure you have the tools to support it you can use circular replication with Linux-HA to provide a single IP address that the app connects to. You can also scale out Apache with Linux-HA in this way. We've found that it's very hard to scale asp.Net/SQL platforms out but using Linux with HA it's very cheap and easy. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
