Hmmm... could you not simply add the second web server to the end of the
list for DNS entries? Failing contact with the first listed server it should
contact the next entry in line.

Correct me if I'm wrong, folks. :)

Subject: Securing web site with redundancy ?

Hi all !

I was wondering if there was a way to set up 2 "redundant" web servers
(identical web sites), i.e. when one crashes, the other one takes the
connection over. The same thing which is already available for firewalls
(high disponibility), but with web servers.

We would have 2 Windozes in a DMZ with IIS as the web server, and a pix
firewall between the dmz and Internet. Is there any tool allowing this out
there ? I tried to google quite a while, but without any chance...

Some one has an idea ?

Cheers list !
