Hi All,
I have a webpage loaded on server1 with authorization enabled by .htaccess, which can be accessed by http://ipofserver1/index.html. Now im planning a high availabilty load balancing in such a way that if the server1 is down due to some reason it should connect to another server. i have the second server in the same ip range of the first.
so in short if i access http://my_application.com via web browser, it should check whether server 1 is up or not if not connect to the second server and load the page there.
how to enable this? i did some google search and found that, it can be done using reverse proxy.. but couldn't find any examples matching my scenario.
