<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Dear all,<br>
<br>
We use Mapserver 7.4.3 on Ubuntu. We use it as WMS client to
collect several WMS into one place, serving them to our
application. <br>
The task now is to define a fallback for one of the WMS source
servers. That means: <br>
<br>
Mapserver will have two technically identical sources for the same
output layer, only the URL is different. Is there a way to define
(in mapfile preferably) that one source is only used if the other
fails (is offline)? I thought of layer groups but then I will have
a duplicate call if both sources are available. I do know this
would be a better task for a load balancer or proxy but we do not
have that option at this time.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your time and thoughts.<br>
<br>
Best<br>
