I think I might need to mirror a site. The site is small, but it has a fairly well traveled message board. I'm pretty new at this.....

* What's involved in mirroring? How are updates passed onto the mirrored site?
* Especially, how are message board posts handled? Is it possible?

The message board is a basic WWWBoard script. It's at http://www.alt-sfa.com/SFA_Discussion/SFA_Discussion.html

Thanks! fred

When mirroring a site, generally it is only static content that is mirrored. It would prove very difficult to try and mirror a bulletin board accross two different servers/locations...

The best thing you could do is have the BBS on one server, preferably the faster/more reliable, with the static content the same on both sites.

Hope this helps.
