Dear all,

We've been looking at possibly using mod_backhand to allow us to run multiple Apache boxes side-by-side (on Solaris) in front of an app server. Failover, not specifically improved performance is our major concern here.

The reason we want to run the Apache boxes side by side is so that one or more can be taken down for maintenance, etc, while still offering some level of service on a 24x7 basis.

What are our options for setting this up to provide the best level of failover?

e.g. Can DNS round-robin be setup in front of the mod_backhand webservers so that a downed server can be detected and taken out of the round-robin'ing?

Thanks very much,
Greg.

Hi,

mod_backhand does not deal with failover. Sure, if one of the boxes is down,
mod_backhand will detect it and will not balance to it, but accesses that
arrive directly at this box will not be answered.

You might want to look at Wackamole which is our solution for NxWay fail over for
IP addresses. It is a component of our Backhand clustering project and can
be found in the same web site http://www.backhand.org

Wackamole bases its IP allocation decisions on the agreed-upon membership
provided by the Spread Toolkit http://www.spread.org

Enjoy,

:) Yair. http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~yairamir

Hi,
I have 2 linux pc each of which runs an Apache web-server and a Resin
application server. I want to balance the 2 web-servers.
I have already configured Apache httpd.conf files following the
documentation on site, but I have a problem: when a request for a dynamic
page (.jsp) comes, module backhand doesn't work and only an application
server responds, otherwise if a request for a static page(.html) comes
module backhand works succesfully.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you

How do I keep the diagnostic handler from giving out the versions of apache,
ssl, etc. Or minimally limit who can access the diagnostic handler page?

Thanks

(1) edit the code

(2) put an Allow directive in the Location handler. See the Apache manual for
the proper syntax for "Allow" and "Deny". It is trivial to limit access to
that "diagnostic page" to your IP block or user/passwords or a combination.
