Normally, you define a simple mapping of input URL to proxy URL. Apache forwards the request and reads back the response. Then it passes the response to tbe client. If the response is valid HTTP (eg 404 Not Found) then it just goes straight through. However, if the first backend is actually down (ie, not responding) then there is the possibility to use the load-balancing feature of mod_proxy - see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy_balancer.html for details Rgds, Owen Boyle Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. > > Thanks, > Arjun Datta > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP > Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > " from the digest: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > This message is for the named person's use only.
