			Configuring Phabricator to use multiple SSH servers.

			Overview
			========

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

			- you can completely survive the loss of multiple SSH hosts.

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

			SSH servers accept SSH requests from commands like `git clone` and relay them
			to hosts that can serve the requests.


			Adding SSH 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 SSH server, and then add the host to the
			SSH load balancer pool.

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

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