Its usual custom code on the proxy server passing requests to the appropriate server managed by cookies. Not difficult if you know what you are doing.

Thanks eek much appreciated

Thats the message engine. The orchestration engine is 100 people in a room running from 1 door to another. There are a set of desks in the middle where Tibetan monks translate text from one format to another.

Is there an RFC?

Is that the Biztalk message engine or the orchestration engine?

Does anyone have any information regarding the actual software companies like Comet,
PC World and Currys use for queuing people on their websites?

Thanks in advance

Yes, each person is given a unique token, which is printed out in India, where the servers are hosted. A local person then picks up the token and forms a queue outside the hosting company premises. When they reach the front of the queue, they enter the unique code on the token into another server in the building next door, which then FAXes another person in the original building to go and process the web request.

This is how IT works in India.

Have they got good sofa deals in Moscow?

They are giving them away right now there but delivery to Brum is a tad pricey...

[Sysman]

It sure takes incompetence to whole new level - right now Moscow's biggest airport is shutdown due to ice and their website is like a turtle with broken legs - ffs, it does not cost much to host website with mainly static files in a good location!!!

This is a first. Queue to see a website:

Sorry to keep you waiting

Our website is very busy at the moment and your request has been put in a queue. To ensure you keep your place, please do not press refresh or navigate away from this page.

This page will refresh every 30 seconds to check your place in the queue. We expect the total waiting time to be about 2 minutes. After this time, you will be able to continue as normal and we won't keep you waiting again.
Sorry to keep you waiting | Comet - NEW

I tried PC world to start with, but their site is down for maintenance

Just no getting away from queuing in the UK, it seems. PC World and Comet are to be world leaders in this ground breaking technology.
