I thought that you only wanted to avoid that users access to server ,and if the server is down ... In this case, I wouldn't have 2 server ( one for display a maintenance page ). I'd prefer a frontend server , like Apache , and to use some module to proxy /filter/check connection , etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
