[pylucene-dev] PyLucene in CherryPy

[joe kim]

Ken,

Thanks for the insights.  Are you describing this scenario:

- Load balancer be put in the first tier
- The application and search engine be on the second tier.
- The load balancer communicates to to the second tier using PB and
using only one connection per process can still send numerous
messages.

What would you suggest to use as a load balancer, since it would need
PB support?
