This sounds like it would be more convenient, but doesn't it go against the
basic concept of clustering which allows you to have multiple locations for
your Fusebox code so your Web site does not go down?

I'd like to know more about this method off-list. I have some support files
I may want to have available to the Web servers via this method.

Subject: Using Mappings in a Cluster

Does everyone know that mappings can be set to directories or drives OFF the
server?

For clustered servers, you could use FuseBox to map to a directory off the
server, so that all the custom tags would be pulling from the SAME shared
directory.  

That is, when you are developing, your mapping to the tag library would in
the same web site for convenience.  For production, the mapping would be to
a mapped network drive that is shared by all the servers.  Just update your
custom tags in one place across the cluster!

This has the additional benefit of hiding and securing your critical code
off the web server.

Using mapping in this way is an idea that I think FuseBoxers should look
into.  Has anybody tried this before?
