I hope to find time to commit these changes to the trunk tonight, so that it works at least in the cumbersome way :-). I will cut the breaks from the patch to keep the current syntax alive. The correct syntax should be defined and discussed later. And of course documented, once there is a decision on that :-). Regards Rüdiger Hi Rudiger, These list entries have been coming think and fast ; ) A little more info on our setup: We have two apache 2.2 servers in a heartbeat hot-standby pair, acting as the proxies. Therefore if one of the proxies goes down, HA switches requests to the other. So we're actually using a virtual ip between the 2 proxies. The 2 back end servers run apache 1.3 with Intersystems CACHE and their CSP app server implementation. Requests are basically sent through a cgi sitting in apache to Cache ... I'm not sure how to incorporate mod_header as you've indicated but will have a chat to the programmers tomorrow and see what we can do. Our requirement from mod_proxy/mod_proxy_balancer is basically to have one proxy receiving all requests and if it goes down, then switch to the next proxy, etc. As per my previous post, I can start apache now with the one worker disabled. However, the failover is not occurring. I understand this is very bleeding edge so ... thanks for all the help so far. Regards Robby
