Actually you answered my question. :-)

But i would like to ask if it would be possible to use a list of web
services
(Something in the conf. like: use=web, web=site1, site2 and it tries
the first and if it does not work the second and so on.Alternative:
if=web, web=site1 if=web, web=site2)

This is important if someone is looking at trying to have "always" a
client connected.

Maybe that an improper solution would be to duplicate the conf. file
in the same file and to add two different web=... .


Thank You again!

Best Regards, Alex
