Answers.Text: Brad - The solution I looking for is to create a shared storage between 2 CraftCMS installations. I have read about this [link](http://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/4719/load-balancing-nodes-configuration-3-craft-nodes-behind-f5-big-ip) but I have to think about transitioning to Azure next year (we are changing from AWS to Auzre) and don't want to change paths when that happens (images, documents,etc).
