Purpose / Scope</H1 ><P > This document was started on June 06, 2002 by Ryan Eatmon to explain how to set up a Jabber Server Farm using the Jabber.org Jabber Server (<A HREF="http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org" TARGET="_top" >http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org</A >). </P ><P > This document is broken into two main sections. What is, and what will be. As of the writing of this document the Jabber Server does not have all of the pieces that are required to do full farming. There are steps that can be taken to get partial farming, and those will be covered. There are also steps that we are going to take, and those are covered to so that others can contribute and comment. </P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="aboutthishowto.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="index.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="aboutjabber.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >About this How-To</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="aboutthishowto.html" ACCESSKEY="U" >Up</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >About Jabber</TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
