Load-Balanced High-Availability Apache Cluster

Newspaper current event by Anonymous on 14 May 2006, tagged as computing and doityourself

Howtoforge provides a useful tutorial that shows how to set up a two-node Apache web server cluster that provides high availability and load balancing. The front line of the Apache cluster is a load balancer that splits up incoming requests between the two Apache nodes. Because you do not want the load balancer to become another single point of failure, you must provide high availability for the load balancer. You can accomplish this with a load balancer that actually consists out of two load balancer nodes that monitor each other using Heartbeat. If one load balancer fails, the other one takes over silently.
