 * Hi,
 * We have 4 servers in a cluster, if in this case, how can WP Popular posts work
   to store the right data from 4 load balanced servers?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi there!
 * To be honest with you, I’m no expert in that field. I believe, however, that 
   determining where the data will be stored isn’t the job of a plugin or any PHP
   script. The load balancer decides that.
 * Maybe this might be of help: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1163216/database-cluster-and-load-balancing](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1163216/database-cluster-and-load-balancing)

 * Hi Hector,
 * Our cluster is loadbalaner -> 4 frontend server -> db
 * Does your plugin save the view info into the db? or just into temp cache in front
   end?
 * Just figuring out a way to be able to make this awesome plugin work! Also, we
   are a site that does PV in the millions, so I’m guessing continuously writing
   to the db will really destroy the db…

 * Hey Ed!
 * The plugin writes directly into the database, there’s no temp cache (at least,
   not yet). This should be OK for most sites. Large / high traffic sites might 
   take a performance hit though because of the constant interaction with the database
   server.
 * A “temporary” solution (that is until I’m able to implement a better one) can
   be found on the wiki (check the Installation section here, last step).
