Re: Failover?

[Craig Harding <charding%mun.ca@localhost>]

I'm looking for the same sort of thing. After I posted to this group 
last week I found a module for apache (assuming this is what you're 
using) called mod_backhand. You can set up multiple web servers that 
will do load balancing and should pick up the slack if one (or more 
machines) does crash.

Email I haven't looked at yet.

Hope this helps.
