If your reference databases are all static (i.e. no updates online), you can maintain a single server as the master and push out the databases using rsync or something similar. You can also have the databases stored on a shared drive iff the databases themselves are completely static.Then your few non-static databases (like customers.db) can be stored in a single SQL database or you can have updates flow from site to site (this can be a problem if one server goes down) via [tcpconnect].WebCatalog is a RAM-based database, first and foremost. Since two machines cannot share RAM, you cannot do load balancing like you can for purely static sites.John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
