[Building Sakai] clustering strategy for JForum in Sakai

[Curtis Van-Osch]

Hi Murthy,
We've been running JForum in Sakai for over a year and are happy with 
it.  We've outgrown our current infrastructure and are looking at 
setting up a second server in a cluster to increase our capacity.

Since JForum writes certain files to the filesystem (avatars, 
packagefiles for import/export, attachements), a user connecting to a 
server other than the one where the file was uploaded would not have 
access to it.  What is the best way to get around this problem?  Is 
there a way to configure JForum to store these files in the database, or 
is it a good practice to use some kind of shared drive for both servers 
to access?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can provide.
