Enjoy, ~Jet ________________________________ From: Adam Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 2:17 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] High availability concept question If I load balance between two 2.2 Apache HTTP Servers on two separate physical servers, what type of device or software can I place in front of the web servers to allow users to access either web server via one IP Address? I did a quick search in the documentation but wasn't sure what to look for. Would it be as simple as pointing the users to a router configured with some type of forwarding? How do I prevent this device from becoming a single point of failure? I know these questions are not Apache specific, at least I don't think they, but after being a member of this list for a couple of months and seeing the level of expertise on this board I figured someone could point me in the right direction. I am not asking for a how-to response, just concepts on where to start to start looking or which documentation I should look at.
