Our rproxy is also stable but due to common customer belief, they want to buy two copies for two computers in a failover state. Some are able to do this with L4 switches. Some are waiting for us to develop a solution for them. If this is a way to convince people buy double licenses, I think it is

The same monitor monitors the proxy ;-). If the proxy or a backend server goes offline, the monitor restarts them remotely via an agent. A shadow proxy may be available, ready to jump in. Fortunately, we managed to implement very stable proxy and monitor, so they fail perhaps once in a year for a

Yes we already serve that technology to clients. But what if the reverse proxy itself goes offline? Who monitors it? And in the absence of reverse proxy, isn't the server farm without defense? Regards, SZ On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 2:18 PM, Stanislav wrote: > Perhaps, I don't understand what you

Perhaps, I don't understand what you mean. How do you suppose web-servers should be involved in this? On our production cluster we have standalone reverse-proxy (ICS based), web-servers, and quality monitor, which pings servers and places them in a blacklist if a failure detected. The proxy is go

Hello, I need a bit of help, How can one determine if TCP port is already in use, before I startup the SocketServer. Thank you. Wayne. -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at

Hello, Yes actually we need it for our reverse proxy. But web servers would also benefit from that, wouldn't they? Regards, SZ On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 12:16 PM, Stanislav wrote: > Hello, > > Don't you think that reverse-proxy is sufficient for that purposes, with no > need > to modify servers

Hello, Don't you think that reverse-proxy is sufficient for that purposes, with no need to modify servers themselves? Failover facilities should be external to a server, imho, because they may fail if they are embedded into a server which undergoes a failure. Best wishes, Stanislav Korotky. ---

Hello, I wonder if this is in somebody's to-do list. Don't you see the demand I see in this? If so, maybe we can collect money similar to what we did for the ICS-SSL project which succeeded. Best Regards, SubZero -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto htt
