UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums General Suggestions and Feedback Load balanced ubbthreads

Is it possible to run multiple machines behind a load balancer with ubbthreads? We are trying to eliminate single points of failure, and would like to be able to add a second machine with the forums on them, for HA and for load balancing reasons. Anyone done this? The mysql db is already going on the replication route, so that's covered, but the actual forum machine is still currently just one machine.

Thanks.

Load Balanced MySQL Servers

Not really. I already know that I can (in fact am) load balancing the db. The question is to the ubb code itself. Is it multimachine safe? if I use shared storage (NFS or gluster) will I run into file contention? For example, if two people try to register at the same time, and each one gets a different machine in the pool, will there be a potential user id clash?

Thanks.

I don't believe it is, as the session data doesn't exist in the db

OK, we can still do hot standby which gets most of our needs. Thanks.

Well for performance MySQL stuff you might be able to gain some information or help from here.
