Clustering with TxFileContentStore and TxXMLFileDescriptorsStore

Hi,

I'm trying to configure a cluster with two servers. One
servers will be used for read-only and the other one 
to write and read .  Both servers share the same content
store via a network drive.

So far I was able to share the content store but when I
share the TxXMLFileDescriptorsStore I get a .def.xml (Access
Denied) exception . I've tried to  use a different rootpath
and workpath on the second server for the
TxXMLFileDescriptorsStore but with this configuration the
content store isn't refreshed.

Basically how can I configure two servers with a single file
system.

Thanks

I wrote a content store for slide that uses the Rings
distributed content
system to store content. This is basically a relational
database that stores
different rows on different machines and caches rows that
are requested
frequently from one of the machines. I am not sure if this
is the kind of
thing that would suit your needs, but you are definitely
going to need
something other than the standard stores provided by slide
because they use
caching and do not always write data to the file system
immediately, so
running the app from two different places is definitely
going to create
inconsistencies. I suggest describing your setup in more
detail so that
someone can suggest an alternative, but my guess is some
code will have to
be written to achieve that behavior you are looking for.
