No offense, but that entire post was completely useless with regards
to my original message.
in a round about way he seems to be asking 'why'? which is not totally invalid.
This is nothing to do with domain names, I was simply asking if anyone
had experience of handling one site spread across multiple remote
located servers from a PHP/SQL perspective (syncing content, user
accounts, etc).
I don't have any answers, but maybe some questions might be useful:
do you want/need a master/slave configuration
or true decentralisation and/or two way syncing?
what definition of 'seamless' have you been given?
what kind of content?
sounds like a costly undertaking, not to be taken lightly...
I'm interested to understand the requirement that dictates
such server redundancy. Given the implied cost,
planning/implementation should probably left to a company
who already knows the answers to your questions :-/?
anyway interesting problem you have before you!
Best regards,
Richard Davey
