This is the current version of the SHNS infrastructure:

<graph>
digraph Shns {
	subgraph clusterDC {
	  ShnsDC[shape=plaintext];
	  Editor -> LocalDropZone -> SyndicationMultiplexor ;
	  SHNSWebSite ;
	}
	  edge[style=dashed] ;
	  SyndicationMultiplexor -> LexusNexus ;
	subgraph clusterKnoxville {
	  KnoxvilleHosting[shape=plaintext];
	  SyndicationMultiplexor -> KnoxvilleStoryDrop ;

	  edge[style=solid] ;
	  KnoxvilleStoryDrop -> SHNSDB ;
	  SHNSDB -> LegacyColdFusionPages[color=red label="needs caching"] ;
	  XMLScripts[color=blue style=filled fillcolor=red] ;

	  SHNSDB -> XMLScripts ;

	  //edge[style=dashed color=red label=SOAP] ;
	  XMLScripts -> SHNSWebSite[style=dashed color=red label=SOAP] ;

	  
	  edge[style=solid] ;
	  ContextCartridge[style=filled fillcolor=red]
	  SHNSDB -> ContextCartridge -> EditorSearch -> Editors ;
	  SHNSDB -> FFFeeds -> FFCore -> FFCMA -> OtherFFSites;


	  //edge[style=dashed weight=1] ;
	  //EditorSearch -> SHNSWebSite ;
	  //EditorSearch -> XMLScripts ;

	}
//	node[shape=box] ;
//	CoreNote[label="Each of these\nsteps occurs\nin VGNP"] ;
//	CoreNote -> FFCore ;
}
</graph>


And here is the proposed architecture:

<graph>
digraph Shns {
	
	subgraph clusterDC {
	  ShnsDC[shape=plaintext];
	  Editor -> LocalDropZone ;
	}

	  LexusNexus ;

	subgraph clusterKnoxville {
	  KnoxvilleHosting[shape=plaintext];
	  edge[style=dashed] ;

	  LocalDropZone -> KnoxvilleStoryDrop ;
	  

	  edge[style=solid] ;
	  KnoxvilleStoryDrop -> SHNSDB ;
	  KnoxvilleStoryDrop -> Verity ;
	  SHNSDB -> LegacyColdFusionPages[color=green label="with caching"] ;
	  SHNSDB -> SHNSWebSite[color=green] ;

	  SHNSDB -> EditorSearch ;
	  Verity[fillcolor=green style=filled] ;
	  Verity -> EditorSearch[color=green] ;
	  EditorSearch -> Editors ;
	  Verity -> SHNSWebSite[color=green] ;
	  ShnsFFQueue[fillcolor=green style=filled] ;
	  SHNSDB -> ShnsFFQueue -> FFFeeds -> FFCore -> FFCMA -> OtherFFSites;
	}
edge[style=dashed dir=back color=green];
 LexusNexus ->KnoxvilleStoryDrop;
}
</graph>

After talking to DavidJohnson we decided the plan for attach is:

	* First, use verity to speed up the editors search

	* Audit and enforce CF caching on legacy sites.

	* Introduce a feed queue for the FF system to poll for new content without hitting the SHNSDB

	* Look at feeding LexusNexus out of the Knoxville. ( How do cancellations get sent to LN? )

	* Then they will be prepped to move the rest of the site to knoxville.
  I've been talking to CraigHubbs about verity for this.
