Thanks to Richard, Victor and Dustin for the pointers. I'm going to check out load balancers and the round-robin DNS aspects. Probably be back with more specific Apache questions in the future! Thanks for the help!

Hello,
I've spent the better part of the afternoon Googling for a decent how-to on how one goes about creating a web server farm. There are tons of documents that refer to the concept as an accepted practice, but I can't find anything that discusses how one goes about creating one. My basic goal is to create a server farm that balances load among n servers, and creates fault tolerance because as long as (n - (n-1) ) servers are up then my web site(s) are available. This seems to be a basic concept and one that's been around for a long time, but even in the Apache mailing list archives I can't find anything applicable.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks muchly!
Tony
