Tuesday, December 03, 2002Could You Be a Microsoft Internet Application Developer?
You have a webserver that needs to access files on shared storage. At some point down the road, the files may move to another, bigger server with a different name. Which of the following would be the best way to configure your Microsoft Windows NT/2000-based Internet application to read those files?
- map a drive to the storage and include the path in the scripts
- create a virtual directory in IIS that reads the files from the UNC name of the storage
- create a reparse point under c:\inetpub\wwwroot that maps to the SMB sharepoint exposed by DFS
- use a dual-homed SCSI controller to connect both systems to the storage
