Hi, Wilfried I'm pleased to say that I've made good progress with the system so far but I'm not sure how to best implement server alternation.
Very simply, the current system works with a main server and a fail-over server. All initial connections are made to the main server (I have this part working fine) but, if the main server is unavailable then clients will attempt to connect to the fail-over server. What I need the client to do is try connecting to the other server if the current connection cannot be made within a few seconds or if the current connection gets dropped for any reason. I've started playing around with it but I'm not sure I'm doing things correctly. I saw a post (from you I think) in the ICS help that mentioned sending a message from the "sessionclosed" procedure but it didn't specify what message to send. Is there a list of messages that can be used with ICS?

I'm not sure if a TDatamodule is thread safe. Anyway I never used it. Note that what you create in a constructor is in main thread context. You have to create (and destroy) the components in the Execute method of that thread. If you do not then you have a false thread. -- mvg, Wilfried -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
