User's experiences & opinions about capabilities of the CSK to work under a farm or webservers (and tips on how to achieve the right architecture) will be greatly appreciated. I posted this question in the CSK forum and according to Redd somebody in this forum
may have an answer (I did a search in this forum before posting this again, in case that there was already an existent one, but I didn't find any references to it). Thanks in advance.
Howdy, I've implemented the GCN 1.1 on a 2 node web farm. It wqas not pretty. Because of how the internal caching is being used, any changes on one node (new pages and/or content. new users, changes to anything, etc) would not replicate to the other node. In
other words, one node may have current information and the other node has a snap-shot of information before the change. You usually end up with "Object not found" errors for 15-30 minutes. The only way around this is to have directory access and edit the web.config
(add a space or delete a space, save) on all nodes. This forces the cache to be flushed and now you are back in synch. One of the items we are working on for the CSK/GCN 2.0 version is web farm caching. I still don't know how much support Whidbey will offer
for this yet. However, we will endeavor to make sure it supports web farms. Side note - the site I have on a farm is now running in single node mode - all requests are directed to only one server...
