Hi, I´m looking for a software that does the job of accepting HTTP request as a webserver and then distributes these to other servers - depending on which one is currently up. We have a customer who wants some kind of failsafe solution. Load balacncing is not the main issue - instead we want to configure one main webserver, in case this one fails the software is supposed to switch over to the other webserver for HTML file retrieval. After some quick and dirty lookup in Google I found this software called "FreeQualizer" (http://www.coyotepoint.com), which sounds nice but is not free. If it´s remarkably good, it might be worth giving a try. Anyone got any experience with this one ? Before chosing this one though, I´d like to know if there are other well known and reliable solutions out there. Apache with mod_proxy/mod_rewrite also seems like an alternative (I found this interesting article on http://www.devshed.com/Talk/Books/ProApache/page6.html) - I´m not sure if the mod_proxy/mod_rewrite stuff only works for load balancing or also can handle outages of the 'backend' servers. Any suggestions ? Ideas ? URL´s ? :) Thanks, Emre -- Emre Bastuz info@emre.de http://www.emre.de UIN: 561260 PGP Key ID: 0xEA0E2CA1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
