Hello Listers, I am very new to PHP and have a query. The problem I want to solve is that I have 4 servers for a similar application in different parts of the world. Based on where the request comes from I redirect him to the closest server. Now what I want to do is to have a Backup server which can be called in case the first/closest server is down or unreachable. Any suggestions as to how I could go about this. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks and regds Surojit
