I'm investigating the ability of using DFS in support of a intranet
cluster.
This infrastructure initially will contain 4 HTTP servers, 2
application
servers. It appears that DFS could use a 'fileserver' as the hub. Then
each
HTTP and J2EE server will operate as remote file servers ( DFS clients
),
with only the local services using the files, rather than users.
Then should the ( content ) disks fail, the DFS would reference back to
the
'fileserver'/'hub' source until disks were replaced.
Additionally, source code changes could be controlled by managing the
distribution mode
manually as a version change rather than automatically. File changes
would
only occur on the 'hub'.
Thoughts?
