Hi, After meeting with the WebLogic guys today, I am very interested in knowing if Orion supports fail-over and session management fail-over such as Orion and SilverStream do. They do it like so: With a 2 server setup, one server is the primary, the second is the backup. Even if you add 100 servers, HttpSession sessions are failed over only on a backup server, and they are in-memory stored, not persisted to the database. If the primary dies, the secondary takes over as the primary. If a "3rd" server is available, the new primary automatically creates a secondary backup of the session on another server..making it its new backup server of the session. SilverStream does something like this too, they call it their buddy setup. However, they deploy their web-site from a database..very odd in my opinion. Anyways, I know Orion supports fail over, clustering, etc..but I am interested in how it does http session fail-over/clustering. In-memory clustering, with the 2 server setup is very fast. So if anyone can enlighten me as to how Orion handles the http session fail over/load balancing, that would be great. Also, I would like to use a load balancer feeding 2 web servers that are failed over. These 2 web servers (each on a separate machine) then feed 3 or more clustered servlet engines, failed-over and load balanced via the two web servers (somehow). How would this be achieved with Orion? Thanks.
