[users@httpd] Is there a how-to for building an Apacher server farm?

["Tony Stocker" <akostocker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I've spent the better part of the afternoon Googling for a decent how-to on how one goes about creating a web server farm.  There are tons of documents that refer to the concept as an accepted practice, but I can't find anything that discusses how one goes about creating one.  My basic goal is to create a server farm that balances load among n servers, and creates fault tolerance because as long as (n - (n-1) ) servers are up then my web site(s) are available.  This seems to be a basic concept and one that's been around for a long time, but even in the Apache mailing list archives I can't find anything applicable.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks muchly!

Tony
