    Members area across multiple servers

    We are planning to move our members area from a single server to multiple servers behind a load balancer. One of things we are concerned about is replication of changes to the password file across multiple servers.

    We use both CCBill and Verotel, and Verotel say they can cope with this but CCBill say they can't.

    How do other sites work around this when running over multiple servers.

    Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

    Cheers

    Paul.

      All you need to do is share the password file(s) off one server with the other.

      Create an NFS share on the original content machine and mount that share on the new content machine. Make apache read the htpasswd file located on the NFS share (on the original server) and just leave everything the way it is.

          Move the authentication information into a database. All the webservers authenticate against a single database server.

              my way. 2 server: one http and one database server. use mod_auth mysql for members database. those servers should have xeon & scsi drives on it.
