Alternate websites
Hi, I have an idea. I dont know if it is possible, but here goes. First my server layout. Server 1 --- * Primary DNS * Mail * Web Server Server 2 --- * Secondary DNS Right, what I would like is that if server one goes down, it will redirect web trafic to Server 2, displaying a This site is temporarily offline page. Is this possible, and could someone help me to get it right. And could Server 2 display an error page according to the specific website that the user is visiting ? Thanks for the help.

Sure it is, look at mod_backhand for apache (http://www.backhand.org/mod_backhand/) pound (front webserver) Pen (TCP Balancing) (http://siag.nu/pen/) Thanks for the help.

I dont think i was clear enough in my previous description, sorry bout that. What i would like is not load balancing, but that when the main server goes down (and only then), does it forward to an error page on the secondary server, until the main server has come back up again.
