Hi,
I'm wondering whether I can load balance (make redundant) my Apache
proxies.
What I mean is something like this in Apache conf:
ProxyRemote *
http://foo-0.bar.dom:8080
ProxyRemote *
http://foo-1.bar.com:8080
ProxyRemote *
http://foo-2.bar.com:8080
Thus, when a request comes in, Apache will either randomly pick one of
the three, or rotate through the list.
That way I can avoid having a single point of failure proxy.
Alternatively, does Apache do DNS lookups each time it wants to
connect to a proxy, because that would let me assign multiple IPs to
one FQDN, that Apache will cycle through, as DNS will rotate through
the addresses it knows.
Thanks,
JD
