The best way to do this is make the process of copying to *both* systems an automatic part of distribution system. A crude mechanism would be to set up an "install" shell script on the test server that arranged to copy things to both servers. That's a bit error-prone though. What I do for my clients is to integrate things into the source control system. There are two branches in that system - test and production. The systems running servers have a script that updates the server to the appropriate branch once a minute. This requires a source control system that can do that efficiently - particularly in the case where there have been no changes made. If your site search engine can delete from and add individual pages to the index, then you can have the same scripts parse the udpate report and tweak the index, thus keeping the search engines index in sync with the two servers. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
