Dear All,

Currently, I have set to using a single ferret server on a single  
server , and access it from several other servers that running  
RubyonRails on top of it.

I want to ask if there is any way to setup Ferret in cluster that can  
prevent from single point of failure if one of the ferret server is  
down? Thanks.

Chris Chan

I am looking to solve the same issue… Ferret only seems to be able to  
use 1 cpu on the machine as well and once it ramps up to near 100% it  
comes to a grinding halt…
