I'm setting up some auto-failover web servers (load balancing isn't needed). CARP would seem ideal for the case where a machine fails, but I'd also like to failover if httpd stops responding for some reason. Some research has shown a couple of possible solutions, but there doesn't seem to be a 'standard' way of doing this. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Actually pound (http://www.apsis.ch/pound/) can be set to forward to only one webserver, but when that server fails, to forward to another server untill the first one comes up again.
