You may want to try making one server a master copy and setup a cron which
runs a rdist command syncing the rest of the servers to it.

Subject: [CLUE-Tech] apache and samba
I have 3 webservers set up that I have some code on that allows me to
upload documents through cold fusion for various reasons. These 3
webservers are all mirrors of each other, and round robin dns is what
spits users to the different servers. So, when a document is uploaded,
it only gets uploaded to one of the webservers... and the mirror is no
longer a mirror :) So, my solution to this was to add a fourth machine
and mount a share on it via samba and have all the webservers use that
for the file repository. I'm not sure this is the best way to do this -
using samba and all. Sometimes on the webservers when I run dmesg, I
see stuff like this:
smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid
smb_retry: successful, new pid=5679, generation=25
smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid
smb_retry: successful, new pid=5679, generation=26
smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid
smb_retry: successful, new pid=5679, generation=27
smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid
smb_retry: successful, new pid=5679, generation=28
smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid
smb_retry: successful, new pid=5679, generation=29
smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid
smb_retry: successful, new pid=5679, generation=30
And then ofcourse, there is sometimes a lag while it "remounts" the
drive after these errors, so the website is slowed down a bit by this.
But after it remounts, it's great - until it loses it's connection
again. Is there something I can do about this, or is there a better way
to have mulitiple webservers share documents?
