Someone asked us to build infrastructure for a Java application that
allows a application to make several attempts to connect to a
list of servers (round-robin).  If the application fails on a
connection, it tries the next server.  If no server on the list is
available, the application is supposed to send email/page to
an administrator.

I feel that this type of software should be part of the network
infrastructure and not in the application layer.  Besides if a
family of servers are down, an email/pager message storm would be
unleashed.

Does anyone know if a vendor has existing software (other than an app
server) that does this type of thing?

Thanks,

Frank G.
