Will this forum work on a web farm (multiple servers serving up the same web site)? I am assuming the answer is no because of Session, etc, but I thought I would ask. Anyone got any ideas or experiences?
(Please let me know if this is not the right group to post this question to.)
Thanks,
Micky |

| It wasn't designed to, really the only way to know is to try it. |

There have been a few posts on this subject, try a search of the forums for web farm or something similar.

It should work if you have your affinity property settings correctly done (haven't tested this with the forums, but we are using an equivalent set-up with a different application that also depends on session state).
For our application, we are using a multi-server group using Windows 2000 Server and its built-in load balancing, with affinity set to Single. All connections from the same IP are directed to the same server in the group.
The alternative settings are None (won't work - server assignment will vary with each web page) or "C" (all IP's from the same Class C address block go the the same server as the first one).
With Single we have had occasional problems with a connection that used IP address sharing, but for our application, almost all connections should come from fixed IP addresses, and we didn't want to go to affinity C.
For the Snitz application, I would expect you need to use Affinity C to allow for AoL and other dial-up connections with shared IP addresses. |
