Deploying FileMaker Server across multiple machines 35
Two-machine alternative
You deploy the web server and Web Server Module on one worker machine, and you deploy the Web Publishing
Engine and the Database Server on a second (master) machine. In this deployment, you can optionally locate the
web server (worker) machine outside of a firewall, and the Web Publishing Engine and the Database Server (master)
machine can be located inside the firewall.
Benefits: This deployment might be better if someone else limits what you can install on the web server or if your
web server is heavily loaded with non-FileMaker content. However, because the Database Server and Web
Publishing Engine are on the same machine, this deployment faces the same scalability constraints as the
single-machine deployment.
