BizTalk 2006 Hosts best Practiuce

Hi

I am deploying several solutions in Biztalk 2006 / CS 2007 and want to
know the best practices for Hosts.

In BizTalk 2004 it advises that you manage multiple Hosts such that you
have a ReceiveHost (RxHost) Transmit Host (TxHost) , Logging (LxHost)
and Process Host(PxHost) etc.

With the concept of Applications in 2006 should i be creating
Application specific Hosts on my Biztalk Server such that i have
AppNameRxHost, AppNameTxHost etc or should i keep the 2004 model and
only have 4 (or more) Hosts per Biztalk Server?

Thanks in advance

Hey Simon,

I would refer to the BizTalk documentation on the recommended host scale out.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa561042.aspx (Managing Host and Host instances)

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa577430.aspx (Providing High Availability for BizTalk Hosts)

Hope this helps.
