Re: How to setup Write-through proxying (aka Replication on-the-fly) in VisualSVN server?

Hi,

A replicating setup with write-through proxies is possible with VisualSVN Server standard and standard tools, I had this in production for years. Set up the replicating hooks.
On slaves, adjust the custom httpd config to load the required modules (proxy, http) and add a receiving location for the sync.

Maybe because those procedures are for Linux-based SVN server? And how much are those articles relevant to VisualSVN server, ie Windows-based SVN server?

Can I consider VisualSVN Server like a *generic* Apache HTTP server? Or VisualSVN Server has some special modification to Apache such that something wouldn't work?
