I have a apache httpd which distributes the load between 2 servers (Serv_A and Ser_B). Using sticky session.

If the request was sticky with Serv_A and Serv_A goes down. Question is? 1. should the proxy send the request to Serv_B without doing a redirect from the browser? OR 2. it should always redirect from the client browser to Serv_B

I notice Scenario 1 happening as the browser gets a 503 error.

  1. What are the best practices of httpd.conf file settings to handle node failure in a cluster. [No Session Replication is done/needed]
