Topic: Re-direct to another apache server host

[mwtoty]

Hi,

I have a scenario that I wasn't sure about how to handle.

If my main Apache server is offline that handles the re-direct to a maintenance page can it be handled by another apache server with a different virtual host?

Example:

main apacher server handling virtual host prodmainURL. This server contains the redirect to prodmain-maintenanceURL during maintenance schedule redirect.

Can i setup the same with another apache server configured with another virtual host, example: testmainURL

so the redirect for prodmainURL is setup in the apache server testmainURL.

It will look like in apache server testmainURL, a redirect will be setup to poing prodmainURL to testmainURL.


thank you very much. I'm not really sure if this is posible or anyone here has a different strategy for it.

I also use a load balancer in our setup.

if you are using a load balancer why don't you use the same configuration files on both apache servers? If one this down, the other will still show the the webpage.

Sure you can use several vhosts / domains on apache.
