Hi all
 
I am looking for a bit of advice OR App Server architecture deisgn.
 
We have two web servers (resiliance/load balancing with .net Web
Services) both of which communicate with an OpenROAD Application Server,
and all is well.
 
I have been testing the use of an additional OR App Server using remote
nameserver entries on the primary OR App Server for resiliance purposes
and I am ready to deploy the new server to the live environment.  But I
am concerned about practicalities of effective resiliance and software
releases requiring down-time.
 
Is there any benefit of not using the remote nameserver entries on the
Primary OR App Server, but rather have a designated App Server for each
web server?  This would enable us to deploy new software without taking
the system off-line by simply draining a web server from our nlb
(Windows 2003 Network Load Balancing).  Although this would not be true
load balancing as far as the App Server is concerned.
 
Any experience shared would be greatly appreciated.
 
Many thanks.
 

JONATHAN
