Hi all,
Been trying to get my head round bakhand, am still confused.. some help will
be greatfully received.
I have a main server that receives hits to the cgi scripts
they are located in
www1.mysite.com/cgi-bin/objects
/usr/home/mysite/cgi-bin/objects
193.109.194.33
When the cpu on www1 is at 75% capacity i want to push the requests to
www2.mysite.com/cgi-bin/objects
/usr/home/mysite/cgi-bin/objects
193.109.194.82
can anyone help me with the setup of my httpd.conf files...
can the level of cpu activity be set or is it automatic
the two server are on a 100Mb LAN connection
should the requests be passwd via TCP/IP or sockets.. how do I change to
each one?
if i set the directory to
<Directory "/usr/local/mysite/cgi-bin">
will request to cgi-bin/objects (a directory lower) be passed to the 2nd
server or is it only scripts in the actual cgi-bin directory itself?
