url redirection at the client

[jasperkirkman]

I want to setup a configuration whereby clients access a webserver via IE6 (e.g. <SNIP>). If the requested page is not returned I want the url to be automatically changed to the standby server(e.g <SNIP>). I also want this to be invisible to the client user. They will click on an Internet Explorer link and this functionality will be executed 'behind the scenes'. Can anyone help asap.
Can this be done using javascript/vb etc?

Welcome to the forums.

Sounds a bit like load-balancing, and I'm not aware of any client-side approach.

We have tried Windows Network Load Balancing but have experienced errors when applied to the particular web app (oracle app server 10g - webcache). We were hoping there was some method out there whereby a client could ping an app (eg 193.123.205.4:7878) on a particular port and if that app was not 'up' then it would be redirected to the standby app.
