Hi

I have the following setup, 2 nginx reverse proxies that handles requests for 4 apache servers in the back.

The two nginx servers have their own ip's and then a third virtual IP that's shared between them, to allow
the 2nd nginx to route the requests is the one nginx server falls over for some reason. Problem is, it's not working.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi! How is your vip configured, can you share some more details? High-level, I would double check that nginx is listening across both interfaces per server (localhost + vip). This really isn't a nginx issues as much as it is properly configuring your vip and failover mechanism. Would need much more details around that layer to help troubleshoot further.

Good luck!
