Just wondering if the VPS servers are load balanced?

Just curious mostly

I'm going to take no response as a No they are not.

I doubt it because it would drive prices up, I'd imagine.

Yea that makes since. would be nice. Then I could run my forum sessions data from MySQL server side instead of via the cookies. Could make the forums faster down the road as they got bigger a little faster maybe from some reading I did over the weekend. lol

But then I can always go the route of a PHP accelerator later if that comes up too.

Hmm. I'd imagine querying a database is slower than reading a cookie.

It seem like it would be to me to but found this in SMF and had a site that said the same but did not keep it for this...

"Use database driven sessions"

This option makes use of the database for session storage - it is best for load balanced servers, but helps with all timeout issues and can make the forum faster.

Tested it with my test forum and enable you get random errors with posting and sending PMs that you have already posted or sent PM. So I kind of figured from that the VPS was probably not on a Load balanced server.

But it dose seem like to me a cookie would be faster as long as your not the type who removes cookies often.
