Hi
We want to setup State Server on two different machines as Live and
Standby. State Server are configured as "out-of-process" and are not using
SQL server. The web servers (web farm) will access this StateServer via DNS.
Now my question is that if we swap StateServer using DNS i.e. make Standby
as live and shutdown old Live machine for some maintenance, then in this
case will the Web Servers reconize that there is a change in the DNS and try
to connect to the new StateServer or will it continuously try to connect to
the old server and all web sites start throwing errors stating that
StateServer is not running.
We know that if we swap server with this setup we would loose session data,
but that is fine with us. Our concern is, if the web servers resolves the
DNS name to a particular IP Address and stick with it for unknown time then
we would have service failure. please help me in this case... Is there any
alternative?
