>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.
But wouldn't you lose the benefits of having the servers clustered?
>Has anybody tried this before?
Yes, but not for the clustering reason.
In our development environment we have an IDE based dev server and a high
spec raid file server which is backup up nightly. We wanted our development
files to reside on a raid server (for obvious reasons) and we didn't want to
spend money on the IDE dev server to upgrade it with raid and a backup
device. So we simply did what you mentioned. It works fine - we get all our
dev files on a high performance raid array, and don't have to worry about
backing up the dev server every night.
If anyone is interested then this is how we did it:
1. We created a domain user account, lets say 'cfbob'
2. On our dev box we mapped the root logical path '/' to \\fileserver\dev\
(the remote fileserver where the sites actual data files reside) in CF
Admin.
3. We gave 'cfbob' read privileges on the cf 'bin' directory
4. Then we had to tell IIS, in the Home Directory tab, that the resource is
on a share (\\fileserver\dev\ and to connect using the account 'cfbob'.
5. Then we made sure 'cfbob' had read privileges on \\fileserver\dev\
It works fine
