Hi

Sorry if I am getting a bit annoying =3D)

Now, I have both servers up and running with backhand.

In server1 (the one where the dns for www.foobar.com is) I have this =
configuration:

<Directory "/var/tomcat4/domains/mejorcambio/webapps/ROOT">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Backhand byAge
Backhand byRandom
Backhand byLogWindow
Backhand byLoad
</Directory>

in server2 I have the exact same thing

Is the Idea correct, or should I add anything else?

Thanks a lot!

Gabriel.

In server 2 (server2.foobar.com) I have this

0 server2.foobar.com 0 63.69.23x.xxx:443 249 MB 146 MB 3/5 0 [0] 397492 1
0.000/2 0.980
1 server1.foobar.com 0 63.69.23x.xxx:443 375 MB 210 MB 7/10 0 [0] 304879 1
0.290/2 1.000

And in server 1 I have

0 server1.foobar.com 1 63.69.23x.xxx:443 375 MB 212 MB 2/5 0 [0] 304879 1
0.490/2 0.960
1 server2.foobar.com 1 63.69.23x.xxx:443 249 MB 146 MB 6/6 0 [0] 397492 1
0.020/2 1.000

Now, why are they listening in 443, when they should be listening in both
ports?
Should I add the <Directory></Directory> stuff inside the virtualhost
configuration? or even the mod_backhand too?

Thanks

Gabriel Maffia.

Now I´m having in ms/req[#req] for server1 : 46[22] and 0[0] for
server2....it seems that server2 isn't being sent anything...

I don't know if this is useful in any way

Thanks again =)

Gabriel Maffia.

If you've only got two servers, you shouldn't use byLogWindow. Just
use byAge 3 instead. What does the bachand handler page say (nifty
stats page)? -sc

PS, it sounds like you have the right idea.

I think your diagnosis is dead on the money: server1 is getting all of
the traffic. Didn't you say that server1 had www.foobar.com pointed
to it? This'll only work if both server1 and server2 have
www.foobar.com pointed to them (unless you want server1 to do all of
the backhanding: akin to a reverse proxy).

Requests/sec = number of backhanded requests, not necessarily the
number of requests served. -sc
