RE: Load Balancing

[Marc Topper <m....@hotmail.com>]

John,
Thanks for your suggestion. I however took a different approach since I would not be needing caching.
The following roller-custom.properties seem to work:
installation.type=manual
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
database.configurationType=jndi
database.jndi.name=jdbc/rollerdb
mail.configurationType=jndi
mail.jndi.name=mail/Session

planet.aggregator.enabled=false
search.enabled=false
cache.sitewide.enabled=false
cache.weblogpage.enabled=false
cache.weblogfeed.enabled=false
cache.planet.enabled=false

groupblogging.enabled=false

------------------

I also will not be needing search.
I was considering Roller or Wordpress. Now I will proceed with Roller.
I am writing a Blog about Cloud Compatible applications (like Roller :)), which I hope to publish soon.
If anyone knows of other off-the-shelf apps that can be  easily dropped into a Load-Balanced cloud environment
with minor tweaking please let me know.

Roller SUGGESTION:  
Roller has a cool feature that tracks the IP Address of users when a Comment is submitted.
My suggestion is that Roller record the entire IP address list in the "X-FORWARDED-FOR" header because
from my test, only the Load Balancer IP address is shown.

Re: Load Balancing

One thing to be aware of is that Roller's built-in search engine will
not work in a clustered environment. You will want to turn off search
and use some other solution.

There was a proposal to fix this, but it has not been implemented:

Thanks,
