I get a nagging periodic error that seems non-fatal:
Message: DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.PageLoadException: Validation of viewstate MAC failed.

I asked, but haven't heard back, as to whether GoDaddy's newest 'ultimate' hosting is a 'farm'; I believe it is...
My HOST console in DNN says 'false' [or is unchecked] for web farm. I also noted the following in the web.config file:
<add name="CompositeFileProcessor" type="ClientDependency.Core.CompositeFiles.Providers.CompositeFileProcessingProvider, ClientDependency.Core" enableCssMinify="false" enableJsMinify="true" persistFiles="true" compositeFilePath="~/App_Data/ClientDependency" bundleDomains="" urlType="MappedId" />
<!-- For webfarms remove the above CompositeFileProcessor and uncomment this section
<add name="CompositeFileProcessor" type="ClientDependency.Core.CompositeFiles.Providers.CompositeFileProcessingProvider, ClientDependency.Core" enableCssMinify="false" enableJsMinify="true" persistFiles="true" compositeFilePath="~/App_Data/ClientDependency" bundleDomains="" urlType="Base64QueryStrings" />
-->
Is there any harm that one might expect if I try commenting out and un-commenting the above settings IF IT IS NOT a web farm setup?
What else may need to be adjusted for a web farm, if it is one, and to get the right boxes checked in the Community Host setting screens...
