Hi ,

we are running an ssgd-array with a primary and secondary server on version
4.31.905.
all users connect through the java webclient (soap over http) by accessing ,
lets say,
http://master/sgd ,while the load balancing algorithm then checks for the
server with 
the fewest webtop sessions. That is ok as long as the primary server is
running. I would
like to not have the user switch manually to the secondary server
(http://secondary/sgd)
when the primary fails.

My first thoughts were creating an A-Lookup dns entry for each servers, e.g.

Login.fqdn.     A       <ip of first server>
Login.fqdn.     A       <ip of second server>

Then let the user access the ssgd via http://login.fqdn/sgd but this will
not work as it
opens session cookies frequently. We had this in our 3.42 setup with the
native client and
it worked there. (btw: never set two ptr entries to one name as this will
make tarantella 3.42 
freeze after some minutes :-) )

Any best practices available?

Regards
Joerg
