(RADIATOR) radiator with multiple DB servers - what's the best setup

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Jaws -

You can set up each Radiator instance to proxy the accounting requests 
to the other Radiator instance.

Then you can have a separate Handler for these requests in each 
instance to do whatever is required.

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive 
(www.open.com.au/archives/radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
