Models Builder Mode in a Load Balanced Environment and/or separate Admin Portal
Hi there
Just seeking feedback on the Models Builder mode and a new site being built.
I have the mode set to DLL for obvious reasons in building the site - intellisense makes life a lot easier.
However the site being built is auto deployed to 2 test sites, one for the admin area, one for the front end which does not have the admin functionality available.
When (re)generating the models DLL it is only created on the admin server and at this stage not copied to the front end server.
One obvious possibility is to have the test sites run in PureLive mode to avoid outages on auto deployment and also file replication between servers.
Is this the best setup ? Can you run DLL mode in a dev environment and PureLive in test / live environments ?

If you are doing a deployment of the dlls they should already be updated?
We add Models dll to source control to allow this
Hi Matthew
Yes good point - I have gotten into the habit of not including any bin files due to continuous integration, but for this it is the best option.
Cheers for removing my blinkers... :-)
