I hear you... So let me give this a try and see if things get any better. Assuming both boxes are on the same network, do you see any network latency cost involved? -Dov -Original Message- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 9:26 AM To:

This is how I'd do it. The web server has 2 nic cards. The first is set to the external network only and is used for traffic. The second is set to internal only and is used to transfer data to the box from the SQL. This removes excess traffic from the network. The 'net stuff' should be on it's

I'm thinking about clustering I read some of the articles on this (bpurcells, and others, etc) and I'm still a bit confused about which is the best way for Entry Level / simple clustering. Right now I have 1 CFMX6.1 Pro license and a single IIS box, sharing MSSQL2K with CF over 2 1Ghz

You could do that with a crossover cable from the Web server to the DB server, right? No need for extra switches or anything like that. Yes, I'm sure you could. However, within these sorts of environments, typically there's an internal network used for hosting databases and other internal

It is better to have a SPoF with 99.8% uptime then 2 systems with 95% uptime each :-) I'm not sure I'd agree with that, as long as only one system is down at any given time! Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ phone: 202-797-5496 fax: 202-797-5444

Actually, I was suggesting to throw more ram at the machine and seperate the webserver from the SQL. While I do like tight code and DB, it's not the first thing to add; Ram is. I have 5 levels of optimization: 1. Code 2. DB structure 3. Hardware 4. Network 5. Server settings Code and DB take
