The best way is to make sure each client web server hoards all the files that it needs. This way, the web server doesn't need to get the files from either server, it just needs to verify it has the correct copy. And, if I remember correctly, venus (the cache manager) should talk to the server with the fastest response. With the files hoarded, then the servers should be able to continue to serve files even if all servers went down or the network connection to the servers was broken. (Depending on the topology, having the network connection to the servers broken may not break the network to clients for the web server.) -- Phil Nelson NetBSD: http://www.netbsd.org e-mail: phil@cs.wwu.edu Coda: http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu http://cs.wwu.edu/faculty/nelsonReceived on 2001-09-17 11:54:40
