Clustering Aurea List Manager

Multiple Aurea List Manager instances (or nodes) may be clustered together using a single database.

True load distribution: Any node can perform any task, including sending mail, receiving incoming mail, accepting tracking events, or performing scheduled tasks.
Redundancy: If one node goes down for any reason, others pick up the pending task or tasks.
No single point-of-failure: No single critical Aurea List Manager system must be working for the cluster to function (other than the database server).
Improved bounce processing speed: Processing and saving bounced mail in the database is faster.

Message recipients may receive duplicate messages in a cluster if the same message is posted to multiple lists and/or segments. Duplicate messages are received even if the list(s) are set, so members do not receive crossposted duplicates.
To send the same message to multiple lists and segments, send to each list and segment separately, purging out recipients of earlier messages on the Mailings > New Mailing > Recipients tab.
Recency limits may also be ignored if a second mailing is approved before recipient list processing for the first has been completed.
You can not select which node a message is sent from. Aurea List Manager distributes messages across the cluster automatically.
