Robert,
Thank you very much for the information. You wouldn't happen to have a
copy of the Advanced Server Configuration Guide, would you? Does
anyone have this?
I also appreciate your offer for assistance. I'll see if we have any
room in the budget for a consultant.
Again, many thanks.

Witango does all of this automatically.
There used to be a document called the Advanced Server Configuration
Guide
(or something to that effect) that covered all of this in detail. I
think it
was published for 5.0, but nothing changed for 5.5
In a nutshell:
Install the second (, third, fourth, etc) server.
Edit the Witango.ini so that it will accept requests from the web
server and
operates identically to your current server.
Edit clients.ini on the web server to point to the second server.
Done.
The issues with moving to a load balanced setup are, however, not
about the
server installation, rather, the operation of your software can
change
dramatically. For example, you must now purge the application cache
on both
servers. Also, domain and application scoped variables will need to
be
updated on both servers so they match - Witango does not do this
automatically. Another consideration is that you may now be using the
network to access shared resources from the two servers. This has a
few
ramifications for your configuration.
Hope that helps.
You can also get in contact with me off-list. I offer consulting
services
for these types of installations. And just in case you don't want to
worry
about managing your servers anymore, I also offer high-end hosting
services.

Subject: Witango-Talk: Load balancing
Hi all,
I have a web server (Windows Server 2003 R2, IIS 6, Witango 5.5
Standard, MS SQL Server 2005) that is serving a lot of traffic. We
think its time to add a second server. Here's what we'd like to
accomplish:
1) When both servers are running, balance the load so each server is
getting roughly half the traffic.
2) If one server goes down for some reason, automatically shift all
traffic to the good server.
3) When a user hits one server, they stay on that server until the
session is completed (I think Witango does this automatically?).
I've gone through the server installation documentation and found
nothing about making this work. I did do some searching through the
archives and found that Witango is (it seems) capable of this, I just
don't know how to do it.
Could someone please point me in the right direction? Any help would
be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks!
