Hi, I am using apache 2.2 as load balancer in front of 2 tomcat servers. I notice that when I restart a tomcat server, when a new request comes to apache, it directs the request to the tomcat server before the application goes up and the user has to wait until the server gets up. Probably when it sees that http port is up, apache routes the requests. Is there a way to tell apache to wait until the application goes up (something like make it poll a control page or tell apache to wait 60 seconds when a new server starts )?
Thanks.
