apache information needed. 1

[dobbyg]

I'm new to the web services.
I have read through Professional Apache Tomcat but I have a question I cannot find an answer for.
I have a url (

http://www.abc.com)

that is registered against ip address 192.169.10.10. I want my Apache webserver (192.169.10.10) to point the

http://www.abc.com

url to an Apache webserver with the ip address (193.169.10.11).
Is this possible? Reason being we have a multiple java apps that run on our web server but on weekends one of the apps get very heavily used and I would like to point this one to another more powerful server that I can only utilise on the weekend.
I have tried to find a way with Tomcats server.xml and web.xml but can't see a way of telling the url to go to a dfferent ip address or if this can even work.

Cheers,

Dobby.

I assume your trying to send request to

http://your.server/url

that you want to redirect to an internal IP address(

http://193.169.10.11).

You can use the "Redirect" run-time directive to accomplish this.

So on Friday you add the line below to your httpd.conf file and restart apache:

Redirect permanent /yoururl

http://193.169.10.11

Then on Monday #comment out this line and restart apache.

Many Thanks, I got this up and running on Saturday.
Could I also do this in Tomcat 4?
