Hi,

I need a setup to stream movies. This setup must have redundancy. What I am looking to do is setup 2 FMS Origin servers and 2 Edge server. I want to replicate the Origin servers with each other so that they are always mirrored for the movies.

I guess what I am wanting to know is can I have the edge server connect to both Origin servers? In a cluster environment like this I see in docs that each server announces it is online. If I am reading this right then will the Edge servers know when the Origin servers are online and when they are not.

I am shooting for as close to 100% uptime as i can. I will start with these 4 servers for now and add more as needed. Any info on this will be great.

    Troy,

    Edge servers will not automatically connect to multiple origin servers when using the "anonymous" proxy mode. Instead, you can explicity specify the origin to use in the RTMP URL. Your Flash application will have to be implemented in such a way that it load-balances requests between the two origins, and will try the other if the the first request fails. While not "automatic", this mechanism provides alot of flexiblity; we have many customers that have implemented very sophisticated load balancing schemes using this mechanism.
