So, I'm setting up a clustered server.

Short Version:

Load Balancing front end, I figure I can run the phpdig on the inner servers.

Question:
Do I want to make independent databases for each inner, or can it live with one database and multiple sets of contextual files (one on each server it lives on)?

I figure I want to run dig on each inner, so that the contextuals get updated properly, but I'm not sure about the database lining up properly at that point.

I guess my first question is, assuming I put the site name as a /etc/hosts alias on each server to point to itself, will that allow phpdig to harvest from that machine?

And past that, is there a potential overlap/mismatch issue with the database & context files across different runs/servers and/or with running prunings ...

Am I making any sense?
