Hi Jim,

Obviously without a deeper conversation this isn't a full endorsement of direction, but some thoughts:

  1. Are you going to be active/standby on devices, or using a cluster and using traffic groups? Keep in mind if the latter, any mirroring you do is within the traffic group without an override (which is there for a reason) so you'll want to plan for apps that might share data to be on same traffic group
  2. I'd take a look at using the AS3 Configuration Converter as a preliminary step to your work. You might not configure your new systems with a declarative model (though I recommend you consider it) but it will give you a clear understanding of your systems and where you need to focus on what has to change vs what you want to change.
