I'm setting up a forward proxy with httpd 2.2.4, and have several target proxy backends. I was hoping to be able to use mod_proxy_balancer to load balance between them. I'd expect this to work: ProxyRequests On ProxyRemote http balancer://mycluster <Proxy balancer://mycluster> BalancerMember http://localhost:8119 BalancerMember http://localhost:8120 </Proxy> (localhost:811{8,9} work fine as direct targets of ProxyRemote.) When making a proxy request for the/any backend http://mysite.com, the request is proxied successfully - but NOT through the specified localhost ports, it's requested out through the default route of the machine. error_log shows... [Sat May 13 11:32:52 2007] [error] [client 10.0.0.123] proxy: DNS lookup failure for: mycluster returned by http://mysite.com/ Which implies something weird going on - with 'mycluster' attempted to be resolved. Essentially I'm trying to build a two level balanced http proxy, using Apache as the first level and load balancer. The second level proxy is specialized. Any ideas?
