Hi ,

I have a general question abt how requests are serviced from apache web server :

My Environment ( apache 2.0.52 ) :

1. Two servers( [my.first.server.IP...] and [my.second.server.IP...] serving the same URL (http://www.mysitename.com in a round robin fashion

2. only [my.first.server.IP...] has a CGI app installed under /usr/apache/cgi-bin/appname.

3. I have the link to [mysitename.com...] on [my.second.server.IP...]

Question :

given that the requests go in a round-robin fashion between these 2 servers ,
should I expect that half the time, requests frm my second server to the cgi-application will throw 404's?

Or is it ok to assume that the requests for the cgi app from the second server will always reach the first server correctly?

Pls help ..

Thanks in advance ,
Deepa
