Hi, I'm playing around with Coda at the moment to see if it's suitable for our needs here at work. What i'm trying to achieve is a system with a number of web servers, all replicating changes to files off each other in realtime such that we can transparently load-balance between them without any inconsistency issues. I currently have them working on a couple of test machines in a fairly workable way, but i just thought i'd run it through the experts on this mailing list to make sure i'm doing things the right way :) Basically i have both machines running both client and server, sharing a replicated volume (or whatever the correct term is), and both clients connecting to the server on the local machine. Am i correct in assuming that, if one server goes down for whatever reason, the other will continue to function without a problem until the other comes back up, and then pass back any changes that occurred while it was gone? Also, if the SCM was removed to install a larger hard drive, is moving the settings over as simple as copying the /vicepa and /vice directories over, or would there be more to it? Two more questions and then I'm done. Is this system actually production-ready or would i be better off seeking alternative solutions? And finally, which version would i be best off using? I'm using 6.0.3 at the moment,which seems fairly stable, but i haven't done much more tha nsome very basic testing at the moment. Thanks for your time, DanielReceived on 2003-11-24 19:37:08
