I'm just verifying but do you mean an active/passive backend? If so, that is trival to accomplish but you will need to use the balancer. Your configuration example looks good. The most important directive is the ProxyPreserveHost. Is there any way on the backend server to log the host header received? It sounds like the backend has a name-based vhost setup and my initial suspicion is that we're losing something on the way there. Another helpful module in httpd is mod_dumpio which will show the request as sent to the backend (but produces tons of logs). Feel free to review/steal examples from this presentation as we get closer to the balancer config: http://people.apache.org/~druggeri/notes/ApacheConNA%202010%20Presentation.odp -- Daniel Ruggeri --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
