<p>When publishing very large sites to load balanced web servers,
we typically recommend that you do something like the
following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Publish to just one of the web servers</li>
<li>Use a tool like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync">rsync</a> to mirror the data
to the other servers</li>
</ul>
<p>This setup takes the additional publishing to the other nodes
out of the equation and will therefore substantially decrease the
time it takes for you to update all of your web servers.</p>
<p>Let me know if this helps!</p></div>Timtag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/394794962016-03-24T18:10:16Z2016-03-24T18:10:16ZIs there a better way to publish to multiple servers<div><p>Some screenshots of our setup</p></div>jperreaulttag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/394794962016-03-24T18:12:02Z2016-03-24T18:12:41ZIs there a better way to publish to multiple servers<div><p>Hi Tim,</p>
<p>Ok, thanks, that does help. With 2 servers it was working fine.
With 3 it's becoming a problem. If we ever add more web servers,
we're going to have more problems. So, I will look into setting up
rsynch. I just wanted to double check that we hadn't mis-configured
our transports and destinations.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Jeff</p></div>jperreaulttag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/394794962016-03-24T18:22:45Z2016-03-24T18:22:45ZIs there a better way to publish to multiple servers<div><p>You bet! Yea, really the only thing you could do to help out at
this point (while still publishing from Cascade to all 3 nodes)
would be to go through all of your Content Types and just verify
that they aren't publishing Outputs to those Destinations that you
all no longer use (and if they are, you should disable those
particular Outputs). You can also verify that you have Smart
Publishing turned on in your Content Preferences as that can save
some time as well.</p>
<p>Moving forward, rsync will definitely be the way to go.</p>
<p>Let us know how everything works out!</p>
<p>Thanks</p></div>Tim
