Anyone using it without increased crashing with >WebSTAR 4.x? > You are right it is a Starnine product (although Men & Mice must be involved somehow even if only to licence the QDNS name). We had been using it fine under 3.0.2 but had trouble with the v4 plug-in when we upgraded, it was causing our 2 servers to go deaf to incoming requests although everything was running 'fine' on the machines, MacCoach didn't think anything was up. We removed the QDNS plug-in (after testing by a guy named Thomas Wedderburn-Bisshop on the Web* list proved what it was) and had just been using QDNS's round robin load sharing until recently when version 4.1b3 was released, so far it seems to be working although we did have a few nervous days watching the servers closely. BTW why do you want your secondary webserver only to come into play when the primary is down? You will have to keep it up to date so it has a current version of your site etc. so why not use it to take some load from your first webserver. Even if it's not a very powerful machine, load balancing should make sure its not overloaded. Paul Willis
