Hey,
I like the mod_proxy module in reverse httpd accel mode, but
am interested in having some nicer failure capabilities. I have
hacked in this kind of stuff before but was wondering if anyone
had any official patch for this kind of stuff.
The nicety under consideration is having the mod_proxy module do
X retries every Y seconds instead of failing immediately. This
would allow a backend Apache httpd do a stop/start without any
downtime apparent to the client besides the connection breaks
from the stop. Depending on how much preloading is done at the
parent httpd, a start could take 5-10 seconds, and during this
time it would be cool if the proxy could just queue up requests.
Anyone does this with some nice ProxyTimeout ProxyRetry config
options? Thanks.
