We would like to implement a Sorry server solution whereby we have a single server and have multiple Sorry services configured with each service requesting a particular piece of Content. For example:
service sorry1
ip address 155.144.24.1
get content - IFS service down
service sorry2
ip address 155.144.24.1
get content - ePAY service down
Can anyone help?
thanks

Tony,
One way to do this is to define your 'Sorry services' with the type redirect and then reference these under your content rules with the PrimarySorryServer. If the main service is down the client will be passed to the sorry service, which will issue a HTTP 302 redirect to the client browser. You can also include a redirect string to point to a specific piece of content, such as a html page with a service unavailable message.
Regards,
Darren.
Example config is;
Service MAIN_WEB1
ip address 192.168.1.100
active
Service Sorry1
type redirect
ip address 192.168.1.200
redirect-string www.xyz.com/servicedown.html
active
owner xyz.com
content WEB
vip address 192.168.2.200
add service MAIN_WEB1
primarySorryServer Sorry1
prot tcp
port 80
url "/*"
active

Darren,
Many thanks for your response. Your suggestion works fine although it's not what I envisaged it works and that's another problem out of the way.

Darren or anyone for that matter,
Don't know whether you'll pick up this update but I eventually got to implement the Sorry Server as per your suggestion. The redirect works well via the Sorry Server. Trouble is you can't connect to the main service (MAIN_WEB1) with url "/*" configured and you can't configure a primary Sorry server without the url "/*"!!!
Any ideas???
regards
Tony
