Hi everyone
Hi Laurie
This should all be doable
It it possible to provide a list (2 is enough, more would be better) of
backup servers, which behave in the following way
* All requests go to the main server
* This is done by specifying all additional servers as "backup" when
configuring them in the backend
* If the server goes down, all requests go to the backup
* this is handled by setting the option above.
* if the main server goes up - requests continue going to the backup
(until manual intervention)
* This is done by specifying a cookie on your backup server - the
requests will then continue to be handled by that server until the
session expires (or the server goes down)
/optionally/
* if the backup server goes down, all requests go to backup 2
* If you have multiple backup servers make sure you do not specify
"option allbackups" as this will send traffic to all of your backup
servers, rather than progressing through them.
