Capacity issues: No problem whatsoever. Background: MSFT bought into GMGC,
in part, in connection with a technology they are developing called "Wolfpack." My
guess is no one has ever heard of Wolfpack. Wolfpack (WP) clusters users of NT
servers so that they can ramp up to handle bandwidth problems. In essence,
Wolfpack eliminates any meltdowns or capacity problems.

Dwight,

Interesting article. But WP IMO is used for clustering NT servers; at the moment I think it is possible to cluster just 2 NT servers with failover safety. This is needed for scaling server power as more and more users are getting registered; not for increasing bandwidth.

Regards,

John
