  • Can you clarify what you're looking to achieve? It's hard to recommend a solution without knowing what problems you're facing. – Shane Madden Jul 17 '12 at 03:37
  • We have developed a Java web application on JBoss application server. We will be using Apache web server to serve static HTTP content and JBoss will serve dynamic content. Deployed solution should be highly available, that is with failover capability. Application does not have much HTTP load and hence as per our calculation one web server should be able to handle it. But there should be failover for this web server. We are trying to have setup in which if this Apache web server goes down or physical machine goes down then another web server on second machine takes over. – user128477 Jul 17 '12 at 08:30
