I've given an assignment to setup AppFabric for 2nd level caching using NHibernate AppFabric Cache Provider (By Simon Taylor). I've successfully setup and it's working. However in a failure scenario, if the Cache Cluster or simply the whole service stops working (Assuming I have only 1 cache server) the application requests don't forward to database. When I restart the Cluster, the application works as intented.
So, despite having only 1 cache server isn't practically right, what should I do to make my application use DB in such failure cases?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
