This isn't what you're asking for, but it might be useful to you, so here goes... If you go to the '/balancer' URL for your balancer manager you'll see a nice little cluster manager page that allows you to enable and disable the nodes in your cluster. You can also enable or disable nodes too from that page and if you're clever you can analyse the request the form makes when you do this. I use this (and 'curl') to tell the Apache side of things when a node is down on my server... curl "http://127.0.0.1/balancer?b=cluster&w=http://127.0.0.1:8080&dw=Disable"; You'll need to adjust your cluster name (the b parameter) and the IP and port, or course. To say the node is up is the same, but the dw parameter is changed to 'Enable'. -- Rob ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
