I myself have not set one up, but from the casual reading it "seems" fairly straight forward.
Multiple apache machines with the web content in sync... then setup round robin dns.
There might be (and probably is) more involved, but it might be a start?

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!
