Dave is correct - scripting is out for e-mail messages - way too many variables to test for and manage, assuming you can even test. We've developed a way to allow the code to 'gracefully degrade' from fully scripted embedding of the OBJECT tag, to showing a standard jpg image, that works on almost

Barney, So did you purchase an piece of NLB hardware to run in front of your boxes or are you using a Linux box to do that?Perhaps you could share with all of us a few more details of your setup? All I'm really after is the ability to set up four boxes... all running the exact same thing...

Generally speaking, the newer versions of sun's java are better than the older versions. CFMX 6.0 comes with version 1.3.1, and CFMX 6.1 comes with version 1.4.2, currently the latest version. If you haven't upgraded to 6.1, I highly recommend it. If you have, you already have the latest version,

We played around with clustercats...it is on the CFMX CD (I think) and there is a download on Macromedia's site where you can get it. We tested in on Windows 2003 Web Edition without anything in front. Worked pretty well, if we killed one server, the other would take over with very little loss

I know it's not the best method as you said, but how are you doing the DNS failover? I'd be interested as we're trying to devise a long term plan for balancing two servers but right now they're in different physical locations and I need a quick, short-term solution. Thanks On Fri, 2003-10-24 at

Since there's nothing we can do about it, we just have to use the workaround and hope that Eolas goes belly up. Alternatively, you could get mad at the patent system instead and work to change that instead of wasting time on the latest company exploiting it. Matt Liotta President CEO

Here's a much more fleshed out description of the setup. Everything's running Linux.Right now we have 6 machines, two load balancers, two web/CF servers, and two DB servers.The DB servers also handle uploaded files, as they need to be served from any of the web servers.Each web server has an NFS

Fail-over and load balancing are two different beasts in my mind. Currently we've got a load balancer (set to sticky sessions) in front of an Apache cluster (2) which each have the JRun connector installed. Each request is routed to a JRun instance in round-robin fashion (default). While this

variables.testStruct#i#= structNew(); or variables.[testStruct#i#]= structNew(); or variables.testStruct[i]= structNew(); will do it, depending on what exactly you're trying to do.I think you want one of the first two (which do the same thing).I prefer the second, as it's more readable, IMO.

A, I see, ok that's a pretty good idea actually. Other than being slightly slower than load balancing it's not a bad idea. I can't imagine a server being down for 20 minutes though, my boss would have shot me long before the DNS picked up for the other box. On Fri, 2003-10-24 at 13:56,
