Hope this is the right section of the forum to post this question.
We're considering deploying Umbraco to a bunch of load balanced web servers, connected to a single MySql database. This seems cheaper to deploy than having a local database on each web server. This database would be "highly available" but not necessarily six nines :^)
The frequency of updating by editors will not be very high, so this will be acceptable to our users.
With my experimentation thus far, if I turn off MySql, Umbraco will still serve pages based on the last editor updates in the content cache.
Is this an appropriate way to run Umbraco? Are other people doing this?
Once again got the dreaded XSLT error so I cannot edit my original post. I found that after some period (maybe a half hour) with MySql turned off, I get errors. Is there some timeout value on the cache? Can I change that?
Dependence on single database availability in load balanced environment
