If server A redirects a request to server B, than in /var/log/httpd/access_log
of server B you well see an access coming from server A.

Make sure, that the diag screen http://localhost/backhand/ does not
show IP-Number 127.0.0.1 or similar for one or more of the hosts.
I had that problem. In the /etc/hosts file was an entry where 127.0.0.1
pointed to the real hostname (in addition to localhost). So a reverse
name-lookup yielded the wrong IP-Address. Redirection didn't work!

visit your site http://yourdomain/backhand/

There should be a row for each server, the IP:port should be correct and
none should be red.

There is a sample cgi-bin script that comes with mod_backhand to help
test to see if it is working.

You should see an access from C on both machines (C being the client).
The IP address rewrite should happen long before the logging phase of
the request. Do you see something different?

First, you will get a better response to your questions if you don't
address a single person. This is an open mailing list. There are many
people here that can answer your questions.

I have written several papers and extensive documentation on
mod_backhand all of which are available on the web site:

http://www.backhand.org/ApacheCon2000/US/
http://www.backhand.org/ApacheCon2000/EU/
http://www.backhand.org/ApacheCon2001/US/backhand_presentation.pdf

http://www.backhand.org/ApacheCon2000/US/mod_backhand_coursenotes.pdf
http://www.backhand.org/ApacheCon2000/EU/backhand_project_coursenotes.pdf
http://www.backhand.org/ApacheCon2001/US/backhand_course_notes.pdf

These should suffice.

hi all,
apache ServerA: 150.160.87.85, in httpd.conf, I config the
Server Name: 150.160.87.85
apache Server B: 150.160.87.88, in httpd.conf, I config the
Server Name: 150.160.87.88
Now I can visit http: // 150.160.87.85/backhand
http: // 150.160.87.88/backhand
(1)but, in /var/log/httpd/access_log of server B I can not see an access
coming from server A. or wise versa.,
Can anybody tell me the reason? Is that means mod_backhand is not in
effect.

(2)In fact, I want to proxy all requests come to ServerA and Server B to
another Server C(which is a weblogic server)? anybody has experience doing
that?


thanks
zhou
