Be very careful with timezones. If you have dedicated servers with full control over each one, you can simplify this by setting them all to the same timezone. If not, you have a lot of work to do.

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 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php Gamma Global : Suppliers of HPCompaq, IBM, Acer, EPI, APC, Cyclades, D-Link, Cisco, Sun Microsystems, 3Com GAMMA GLOBAL (UK) LTD IS A RECOGNISED 'INVESTOR IN PEOPLE' AND AN 'ISO 9001 2000' REGISTERED COMPANY ********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This Email is confidential and may also be privileged.
