Load balancing

Dear Listmembers,

I don't know if this is the "on topic" on this list, bit I've heard a
lot about load balancing on this list, so...

my question:

We've got a main webserver running web*4.1. Sometimes
(for a yeat unknow reason) Filemaker crashes the machine
(G4/400).
What I would like is that, if the main server is down, a backup
server just displays a message for all the domains I host
saying: "we are upgrading our system, please come back
in a couple of hours".

Is this possible with load balancing? Problem is probably that
the load balancing can only kick in if the main server is completely
down, because the second server does not have the sites and files
that the main server has...

Any ideas?


(PS: anyone aware of a UPS switch like PowerKey that is available for
Europe? All info is welcome!)


Thanks!


Jona
