One of my friends (another IPP) finally folded and got Windows NT/4 for frontpage purposes. And it turned it frontpage is still just as flakey on NT :-) Regarding distrubted web servers: Has anyone here had expierence with round-robin DNS? Why not just setup a Server with a Raid Array/NFS Server, then have clients mount the drives and load balance through round-robin DNS? I have another friend who told me sometime ago about this, I will touch base with them..
