Re: Simple setup question

Mhm. I suppose that the 2 hosts are on the same network, or die multicasts
wont
work... I give them the IPs 1.2.3.4, 1.2.3.5.... in the httpd.conf

<IfModule mod_backhand.c>
    UnixSocketDir /some/dir/infilesystem
    MulticastStats 1.2.3.4:80 1.2.3.255:4445,1
    AcceptStats 1.2.3.4/32
    AcceptStats 1.2.3.5/32
    BackhandConnectionPools Off

    # For http://1.2.3.x/backhand - Statusview
    <Location "/backhand/">
       SetHandler backhand-handler
    </Location>
</IfModule>

Its not neccersary (i think its not possible) told backhand that it only
should remain the port 80. you do this as example with vhosts in
your apache-conf.

like

<virtualhost 1.2.3.4:80>
        Backhand byAge
        Backhand addSelf
        Backhand byLoad 0.2
        .........................
        .........................
</virtualhost>

on the other host

<virtualhost 1.2.3.5:80>
        Backhand byAge
        Backhand addSelf
        Backhand byLoad 0.2
        .........................
        .........................
</virtualhost>


Hope this works :)
