 * Greetings,
 * The website we are working on right now will be hosted on two load-balanced IIS
   servers. The database will be common, on a third server.
 * The plugin saves all the files on the disk, inside the wp-content/cache folder.
   
   Right now we are using only one server so everything works fine, but we have 
   to attach the second one soon to the load balancer.
 * My question is:
    – Is it safe to attach the second server as is, without any 
   modification in the plugin ? Do we encounter a risk of the html inserting a cached
   css file for example, that is present only on one server and not the other ? –
   If it is not safe, would a shared wp-content/cache folder solve the issue ? (
   symbolic link or so)
 * Thank you very much for your time.
    Regards
