hi I've got a 7-client ZEO cluster. The client machines are Celeron's and the ZEO server is on a dual XEON. All communication is over a private network with a switch in the middle. Lately I have been getting ClientDisconnected errors more often than I would like. restarting the offending client or the zeo server is a temp solution. I'm not sure why the disconnects are happening but I would prefer for zope to simply not respond than to send that error messages. That way the loadbalancer could mark that client as down and send requests to working clients. Visitors would never or very infrequently see the Clientdisconnected error in this case. Has anyone else implemented this? Any suggestions as to how to go about this would be much appreciated. :) <--> george donnelly ~ http://www.zettai.net/ ~ "Quality Zope Hosting" Shared and Dedicated Zope Hosting ~ Zope Servers ~ Zope Websites Yahoo, AIM: zettainet ~ ICQ: 51907738 ~ Sales (USA): 1-866-967-3669
