			Configuring Phabricator to use multiple web servers.

			Overview
			========

			You can run Phabricator on multiple web servers. The advantages of doing this
			are:

			- you can completely survive the loss of multiple web hosts; and
			- performance and capacity may improve.

			This configuration is simple, but you must configure repositories first. For
			details, see @{article:Cluster: Repositories}.


			Adding Web Hosts
			================

			After configuring repositories in cluster mode, you can add more web hosts
			at any time.

			First, deploy the Phabricator software and configuration to a host, then
			register the host as a cluster device if it is not already registered (for
			help, see @{article:Cluster: Devices}.)

			Once the host is registered, start the web server, and then add the host to the
			load balancer pool.

			Phabricator web servers are stateless, so you can pull them in and out of
			production freely.

			You may also want to run SSH services on these hosts, since the service is very
			similar to HTTP, also stateless, and it may be simpler to load balance the
			services together. For details, see @{article:Cluster: SSH Servers}.
