I would like to have multiple pull servers behind an ELB before we go into production and was wondering if anyone could advise me on a good setup.

I have seen someone put the Devices.mdb on a file share and edit the web.config to have two pull servers using the same database but this feels a little dodgy.

Has anyone setup an SQL backend?

Thanks

I think this is why they are working to make the reporting server separate. So you load balance the pull server and the lcm reports to a different URL. This makes load balancing on the pull easy because its just serving files

I dint know if that was fully baked with wmf 5 in tome for release
