Hello all,

With ALL due respect, this idea appears to totally kill the whole reason for
having a cluster, which is to provide failover if any one node goes belly
up.  Why spend all the time, effort and money on a cluster if you are going
to circumvent it by placing required, critical files on a single node?  If
that single node goes dead, the app is still fried, even with the clustering
technology in place.

I AM very tired, so if I missing something here, flame away!  ;)

(I think we need to market our own brand of CF_NoDoze; seems everyone here
is tired on a regular basis!)

Marc

Has no one else thought of this?

The big problem with clustered servers and query caching is that there is a
problem with it! But if we remove all qry_ and act_ files from the rest of
the cluster and only put them on one server (call it a query server) and map
#querymap# to that one server, then we can set application/server variables
to refresh the queries on that one server, which feeds the entire
application across the cluster. Is this cool? Is someone with a spare
cluster gonna try this?

I'm using CF Mapping exclusively on a clustered app I'm developing, where
the CF templates are not in a directory that can be accessed by the web
server.  The difference is that I'm storing templates on *each* server
rather than getting them from a central file server.  (Synchronizing them
will not be a problem.  As we host more websites we might go to a central
file server.)

How do you avoid having at least one virtual directory for index.cfm?
I'm not sure I understand what you're doing.

best,  paul
