I'm forwarding this on for Tara Debrodt who's having problems sending to the
list.


Hello Listers,

I have come across an unexpected proposal for dynamic load balancing CICS
regions.
I would like to hear the LIST's opinion.

The proposal is to have a TOR/AOR region connection to a FOR. Then to have a
mirror plex of this design.
And then to use VTAM to dynamically balance the load between the plexes.
I'm still suffering from a bit of vertigo at trying to get my head around
this.

Look forward to the LIST's opinions/experiences with this one.

Regards,
Tara
