two cache clusters on one machine

Question

purely for development environment purposes,

is there a way to have two app fabric clusters running on one server?

 

preferable this would not involve running a virtual machine.

Answer 1

The same physical machine cannot be part of two Caching clusters. Can you elaborate on your scenario/requirements a little more? Thanks

Answer 2

here is our scenario.

We are a small company, have just one dev server.

We have two builds - one is nightly, another one happens with-in seconds after check-in. Both share same cache cluster.

So essentially two slightly different code bases run on the same cache. This sometimes cases problems as objects might be different(versions).

 

 

Answer 3

Use two named caches in the same cache cluster

Answer 4

I agree with Ben.

Not sure about your build infra and scripts, how difficult would it to be integrate the cache name into a build time variable ?
