Not arrogance, just extreme frustrations, I am been trying to figure
this out for the entire month of January.

I just want to know if a feature that is advertised as working really
works and if so, where do I find information about configuring that
feature.  If it is in the documentation please please please please
point me to that location.  I have installed EVERY documention module on
the website in hopes of finding this informaion and it is not there as
far as I can tell.  I have gone though the config files for OpenCMS and
there is mention of neither clustering nor loadbalancing.

Do you mean the use "rsync" answer?  I don't see a "rsync" included in
OpenCMS admin panel.  I guess I could install cygwin on my win2k boxes,
but this gets aways from the automagic updates that the feature page
promises.

Ok, to be clear:

Is loadbalancing/ clustering/ automatic update to multiple web servers
on publish work?
[ ] Yes
[ ] No

If yes, is this documented?
[ ] Yes
[ ] No

If yes, where?

Please, I just need a simple answer.  I don't mind doing the work to
figure out how to get this working, I just can't seem to find a starting
point.
