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 PeacockDirector of Information Research and TechnologyRowman & Littlefield Publishing Group4720 Boston WayLanham, MD 20706301-459-3366 x.5010fax 301-429-5747-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
