Yes, and that's why it's confusing. I can also see cases where you would want a hot-standby available at the same distance as well (check to see if there's a hot standby first, before checking hosts at a greater "distance"). IMO, just because something is done one way in mod_jk doesn't mean that it makes sense to copy the exact naming, etc over to mod_proxy. People who do HTTP proxying and LB have one set of "expectations" which occasionally do not map to how mod_jk has done things. -- =========================================================================== Jim Jagielski [|] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [|] http://www.jaguNET.com/ "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."
