2. and 3. work as designed. httpd only changes the status for a worker to err if a request failed in the middle or if it tried to assign a request to this worker and that failed. Once the worker is in error state httpd will not try to assign a new request to this worker for "retry" seconds (see parameter explanation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass). After that grace period the worker gets new requests assigned again and will switch back to ok once it processed the assigned request successfully. > > This is definitely an improvement even if failover isn't working because at > least we can manually failover ... Considering my explanation above, what do you mean by "failover isn't working"? Regards Rüdiger
