I would like to have a setup under Linux to automatically receive incoming
web requests from a client and reroute them to another server. (Such as,
client goes to
www.mysite.com, Linux system receives request and
automatically routes it to another server.) The problem is I would like to
ping a set of servers periodically (every 30 seconds or so) and if the
preferred destination server goes down, then the system would automatically
begin routing to a different server in a different location. I would also
like to set it up to email certain email addresses when the a destination
server goes down. What tools should I use and how should I go about it?
Thanks,
Jacob
