The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to have Apche handle multiple webservers?

Asked by TheoViset in Apache Web Server

Tags: apche, multiple

I have 2 or more Suse Linux servers, all running Apache. We have developed software applications running on the servers, and we have a JAVA software client running on a windows machine. This client has to be downloaded from the server before it is executed so all windows machines retrieve the same versoin of the client. This means that the client resides in a folder on the Linux server, and when an HTTP connection is made, the windows machine retrieves the client and executes it and then a TCP/IP connection between the client  and software on the Linux server is made.

My question is this. How can I set up a URL to retrieve the client transparently from the Apache servers? Now I have a similar scenario:

Apache server 1, IP 192.168.1.20 to start from MyServer 1
Apache server 2, IP 192.168.1.21 to start from MyServer 2

When i want to retrieve the client, I compile the URL like this http://192.168.1.20/system/client/MyClient.jar for the first server and
http://192.168.1.21/system/client/MyClient.jar

What I want is provide a readable address in stead of an IP addres:
http://anyserver/system/client/MyClient.jar

and let the apache server decide which server should respond, or even be able to set dynamically which server should respond, depending on the availability of our soiftware system. After executing the client, it should connect to either one of the servers through a port connection, and I want to be able to use 1 address to serve two or more machines
