One comment that comes to mind- Metaframe 3.0 is supposedly designed specifically to keep zone traffic within the zone and not automatically share it with all other zones. Based on this, theoretically, if you add a server to a zone only that zone is notified and the data store, not every other zone and server. Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

I have added some inline comments Two statements: 1. Whenever somebody is staging an new Server into the Farm, all the other Servers are talking to the new Server that creates worldwide traffic and as a side effect for a short moment the Load Balancing is out of effect. That will create strange effects on the farm and might bring up some problems. ** BLILLEY : "if the farm is not sharing load balance info between zones, then surely this would not be the case. A new server would talk to the DataStore when joining. And the other servers would pick up this information through their poll's to the DataStore. " 2. When you assume that we discuss here about 3-5000 Users and of at least 50-100 Applications we will face at least every second a klick on a published application. This traffic to the datastore will never be stable manageable, especially not when new servers pop into a productive farm. any comments would be appreciated.
