9. If you want longer intervals for how often the probe checks the ColdFusion Server
and for how much time can pass without a response from the ColdFusion Server
before a failure is registered, change the Timeout and Frequency values to longer
durations.
Note Don’t set the Timeout and Frequency interval values too low (below
60 seconds) because if the intervals are extremely narrow, they may
cause the ColdFusion Server to reboot inadvertently (due to network
congestion, for example) rather than detecting an actual failure on
the ColdFusion Server. Allaire recommends you set your Timeout
and Frequency intervals to 120 seconds.

You can configure ClusterCATS to work in conjunction with a third-party hardware
load balancing device or load balancing software product to provide comprehensive
load balancing and failover support for your server clusters. Allaire has worked closely
with Cisco to enable ClusterCATS integration with LocalDirector.
