I am already using DNS round robin. That works OK. But this is only to = load-balance to 2 or 3 frontend-servers. With mod_backhand, I can attach = even more in the backend without knowing from the outside. backhand is = great ! But only working on Apache 1.3. There is no hurry to change the = config now, but in the long run, I guess we have to use Apache2, so I am = asking these questions now. For everyone interested: At least there are thoughts about setting up = backhand for apache2. Maybe in one year or so, there will be a solution, = but they have no timetable, and might even not set it up. If anyone has got any other ideas... I'll keep you up to date if I find = another solution. jhh -----Urspr=FCngliche Nachricht----- Von: Ant=F3nio Rafael Paiva [mailto:a20130@alunos.det.ua.pt] Gesendet: Dienstag, 22.
