texte = I have been working for a client doing the design, html and layout of a site for several weeks. The intent of the client was to have another programmer at his isp program the server side and database functionality in perl and C on unix. To the client's surprise, every aspect of the functionality that he assumed would take complex programming was quickly and easily accomplished with WebCat. In fact, I was able to add functionality as we developed the interface with only a minimum amount of effort, which is much more than the client expected. All he expected was example interface pages showing all interface states that he could give to his programmer, but what he got was a functional demo that he could begin showing investors. Of course, now that it's almost 80% functional and the client has asked what other functionality I can add to the design, I have been pushing to do the ecommerce piece of his site as well. There is one issue that keeps coming up, though, to be able to persuade the client that WebCat is an industrial strength solution and I don't have a clear answer for him. His concern is that this site could become very busy and he wants to know if a WebCat based site could be replicated across multiple servers for load balancing and redundancy. I think with odbc and an oracle back end it seems possible, but can a site based on standard WebCat flat files be replicated across multiple servers?Mike DavisContent-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name=admin.vcf Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Michael Scott Davis Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=admin.vcfAttachment converted: Macintosh HD:admin.vcf 1 (TEXT/ttxt) (0001BF4E) Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
