I've been told that NFS is NOT allowed in the environment where I'm configuring my wiki. Can the /images directory reside on shared SAN mount? Or, am I better off just writing an rsync script to keep the application servers synced?
Thanks Bill

We (www.uesp.net) have a similar MediaWiki setup and here is roughly how we have set it up (whether it is a "good" design is another question):
- Multiple content servers running Apache with identical copies of the
MediaWiki PHP files
- Squid load balancer in front of the content servers
- All content servers use the same memcached server for cache
- PHP sessions shared via NFS
- Images shared via NFS (./images/ linked to NFS shared directory )
- Local file cache turned off
The files shared via NFS are on a different server. This has worked well for us and there is only very rarely an issue with the cached content of certain pages (usually cleared up with a purge for that page).

I have 2 application servers behind a load-balancer that both point to a 3rd server where the database lives. I'm curious if there are any best practices around keeping the two MediaWiki servers synchronized?
I found Extension:WikiSync (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiSync) but it doesn't look like it's still developed.
I assume Wikimedia does this now, anyone know how?
Thanks Bill
