I've considered something like this in the past. However, I'd be interested to know how you plan to have the failover website at the second take over when the first website dies. In other words, how will a user's browser know to access the website at the failover IP address rather than the regular one? Chaning the DNS is not going to do it for you I wouldn't have thought....? > I've heard tomcat supports clustering, but I'm thinking about a > similar, but different situation: having a duplicate server at a > distant hosting center, set up to take over if the first server or the > first hosting center encounter problems. > > This isn't about load, so much as reliability.
