All,
we are in the process of setting mirroring for HA and have runinto issue of client connectivity with mirrored database.

we are using jdbc with connection pooling. and our jdbc doesn't provide automatic failover fucntionality.

one possible solution is to have a load balancer between our app server and database server. So that jdbc is configured to a virtual ip and the loadbalancer will route it to the right database machine.

if this will owrk, the question is how will the loadbalancer know mirrored database is not available? the mirrored database - service is up but database is in restore state.

any suggestions?

thank you
dan
