Hi,

I've configured a DNN web farm using the following config:

  • Windows 2003
  • windows load balancing
  • Configured each server to access the DNN files over an UNC file share with trust
  • resynched IIS so they are all using the same ID

It's working but have a few questions about DNN and web farm configuration.

Question 1:
In the documentation it states that the 'EnableWebFarmSupport' setting in web.config should be set to 'true'. When I set this value to true I'm unable to access the page settings section (via the setting link under page settings). When this is set to 'false' (the default setting) I am able to select page settings. So... is 'EnableWebFarmSupport' still a valid/supported feature?

Question 2:
My page skin token allows me to see which server I'm using to display the page. If I add a new module (text/html) to a page using ServerA and then refresh the page until ServerB kicks in then I can't see the Text/html module created  while on on ServerA. If I iisreset both servers I'm able to see the update on serverA and ServerB. Is there a setting to ensure both web servers are accessing the same cached data?

Question 3:
Has anybody successfully stored session state in SQL server on DNN (<sessionState mode="SQLServer"....)? Any advantages. I'm thinking this may solve question 1 above but have not had time to implement it.

Many thanks for any advise on the above.

Cheers
Simon

I've configured DNN to store session state in SQL, but unfortunately this did not resolve question 1.

Anybody else using a web farm?

cheers
