Failover on proxy server

[joamag]

Description

It's important to be able to handle a fallback process when a back-end server is not available.
Our current proxy solutions does not handle the unavailability of the back-end server on a proper way.

Solution

Proper solution would imply

• Constant "ping" of the back-end server
• Marking the back-end server as not available
• Not redirecting request to the unavailable services
