I am using mod_jk2, and in its workers2.properties file, you can specify "level" attribute for "channel.socket"
quote from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/connectors-doc-archive/jk2/jk2/configwebcom.html as description to "level" attribute: "Worker Priority. Valid values are 0-3. The functioning workers with the lowest level will be checked for the lowest lb_value, and if found will be run. The upper level workers are only checked upon failure of all workers on ALL of the levels below them. This is very useful for implementing failover withing a cluster. You could set the tomcat server local on the same machine as the apache instance to level 0 and all of the other workers to level 1. This would cause apache to only use the external tomcats when the local tomcat is down." Basically, something like: [channel.socket:machineone:8009] port=8009 host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx level=1 [channel.socket:machinetwo:8009] port=8009 host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx level=2 in your workers2.properties file all quest will go to machineone unless it is not availuable, then all request will go to machinetwo.
