If you are using the Apache, iPlanet, or Netscape redirector plug-in, you can bind the redirector to a specific server. If a redirector is bound to a server and the server fails to respond to a request, the redirector returns immediately. By default, a request fails over to another server when the initial server does not respond. If you are running Web applications that are not marked as distributable, you must bind the redirector to a specific server. If a bound server fails to respond to a request, the redirector returns the error status to the client. To bind the redirector to a server, add this line to the redirector configuration file, where serverName is the name of the server:
Connector.BindToServer /serverName
If the redirector has connected successfully to an application server, and while awaiting the response, the network connection is broken between the redirector and EAServer, the redirector does not attempt to restore the connection. The client must retry the request.
See “Editing the redirector configuration file” on page § (iPlanet, Netscape, and Sun Java System), § (Apache), or § (IIS) for more information.
