If I remember correctly, Apache has a module or the ability to daisy chain/round robin multiple machines togather for a distributed environment?
Which is it, how does it work?
As I understand you configure Apache as a proxy which delegates requests one at a time to another Apache server (mirrored) in a round robin fashion?
Can anyone elaborate on this for me?

Re: Daisy chaining servers using APache
I haven't seen this module yet.
Take a look at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html
Load Balancing
or maybe
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_proxy.html

Re: Daisy chaining servers using APache
I'm pretty sure I read about mod_proxy which is where I got the idea from for load balancing...not sure how re-write would work though.

Re: Daisy chaining servers using APache
Are you thinking about LVS? Linux Virtual Server? It's a bit more generic than just HTTP.
