Cheers Bill,
If both webservers are using a single database, then their data should be synchronized.
What other things are you looking to synchronize?
What about the files? Specifically the images directory.
You might want to look into setting up a distributed caching system (hint: use memcached
[1].) This will share the cache amongst the webservers. You might also want to put the
codebase on an NFS drive and mount it on each of the webservers. If you are looking into
building a scalable MediaWiki installation, I would strongly advise taking a look into
Puppet [2].
Thanks, this is great info. Unfortunately, I don't have full control
over the environment, but I will make these suggestions.

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] synchronizing two MW servers
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
