Thanks for the response. Can you help me understand what the implications are of having a single scheduler (other than the obvious single point of failure)? As I said, I haven't delved into this much so I'm a little fuzzy as to what the scheduler does but it has something to do with scheduling timers. Can timers that are due still execute on multiple servers or is the timer executor also a singleton?
