Hi,<BR>
<BR>
May be the solution exists, but the idea just popped and want to clarify if it really works this way.<BR>
<BR>
Instead of the regular cluster node and unicast load balance to multiple worker nodes, if we use the IP multicast to a group of servers with replicated mnesia and let each node attempt to start a transaction and only one node gets to act on it, based on the mnesia transaction write lock, will there be less latency in distributing the transactions. And also it might help in some cases wherein the delay in identifying dead node would not effect the transactions within. <BR>
