Hi I have 2 sessions created:
a_engine = create_engine('mysql:///host1', echo=True) a_session = scoped_session(sessionmaker(autoflush=True, transactional=True, bind=a_engine)) b_engine = create_engine('mysql:///host2', echo=True) b_session = scoped_session(sessionmaker(autoflush=True, transactional=True, bind=b_engine)) The issue I run into is, what happens when b_session's server crashes? I am looking at this from a high availability standpoint. I want to round-robin between 2 pools of persistent connetions. Both hosts share the same data. If b_session is down, don't use that session until its recovered. In my cases using a hardware vip would probably make this easier, but since we're dealing with persistent connections -- it makes it a tad more complex. I *could* create 1 pool thats connected directly to a hardware vip and let that round-robin through the DBs on the initial 'connect'. But if I start adding more servers that host my application I could run into a scenario of more connections living on A vs B and it becomes unpredictable. Managing 2 pools allows me to control X connections per host and adjust as I add more servers.
