static ip web server Pluto clusters with dynamic ip web server NY1 just fine, both ways. Trace NY1 and Trace Pluto console commands show everything working just fine.
Problem: When testing failover, I take one server “out of service” and then send a url to it opening a web form. When I do this in either direction (from either server) I get Error 500 “…unknown OS error”
Can’t find anything in the archives that helps.
So…HELP!

have you tested the failover using a notes client? In my experience with clustering the web piece must be addressed seperatley by using an IP sprayer or you may set up an Internet CLuster Manager (ICM) server within your DOmino environment, Hope this is some help

Thanx for your response.
Isn’t testing using Notes client moot since I only use web documents?
Also, isn’t each server considered an ICM server by virtue of adding server documents to a named cluster? What am I missing here?

You must install a Domino ICM on a seperate Server from Your cluster. All http etc. requests will be handled by the ICM and directed to the Domino-server in service.

The ICM does not need to be on a server outside the cluster, although it certainly can be. I read some Iris Today article that indicated that, counter-intuitively enough, running the ICM in the cluster actually seems to result in better performance.
But the basic point that clustering only works for Notes clients unless you’ve specifically enabled an ICM on some server and are directing your web users to that IP address is certainly the correct answer. In other words, No, it ain’t automatic.
