Yes. I am not sure about The Cisco Local Director, but with Cisco Content Services Switch I have it pull a file off each server every 15 seconds. The file has some CF coding in it (I have it read from a database).
If the file is not pulled up in 3 consecutive attempts, the CSS will assume the server is down and not send traffic to it. Of course, using this example, my database could be the problem and the CSS will assume all servers will be down. But if I have database problems, I have other issues... http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_tech_note0918 6a008009409d.shtml Once again, this is for the Cisco Content Services Switch. Hopefully this could be a start.

Is there a way to set this up so the requests are sent to the web server with the best response time for ColdFusion pages, or at the very least that if CF dies on one server Cisco starts sending all requests to the other server? I know this is possible with Enterprise and ClusterCats, but I don't really want to go down that road. If it's not possible with Local Director and CF Standard, would it be possible with either: 1. Cisco Content Services Switch (CSS)? 2. Microsoft NLB instead of Cisco?
