We use Mapserver 7.4.3 on Ubuntu. We use it as WMS client to collect several WMS into one place, serving them to our application.
The task now is to define a fallback for one of the WMS source servers. That means:
Mapserver will have two technically identical sources for the same output layer, only the URL is different. Is there a way to define (in mapfile preferably) that one source is only used if the other fails (is offline)? I thought of layer groups but then I will have a duplicate call if both sources are available. I do know this would be a better task for a load balancer or proxy but we do not have that option at this time.
Thank you for your time and thoughts.
Best
