Ok thanks for your response fieck , Brennan and susan, I will try router configuration or load balancer method .

If you mean "Is this possible within the scope of Trafficserver's configuration" then the answer is "not really". Best I can think of is sitting another cache in front of those two as parents and using it to do the failover. But that doesn't make sense because it still brings you back to a single Trafficserver point of failure.
If you mean "Is this possible at all" sure it's possible, but what you're talking about is a Content Delivery System that routes users to caches based on the health of the cache servers. So whatever you build would be re-inventing Traffic Control.

if we use the domain to points at two traffic server ips while it makes every request round robin algorithm , so load goes to both end . our scenario is first server and second server are alive to all requests goes to first server if marked down first one then need every requests goes to second server . Any possible using only traffic server without load balancer , router and TC ?

You could use Traffic Control to do that ;)

Another option is to place several Traffic Server boxes behind a VIP, i.e. a router or load balancer that owns a common IP and distributes connections to whichever Traffic Server box is alive. A router capable of basic ECMP routing can mostly do this. Or a dedicated state-aware load balancer can detect that a Traffic Server box has gone done and send new connections to other servers.

I believe what he's saying is that this behaviour is up to the client. The client will try to connect to one traffic server, and if it fails then the client just needs to know the URL/IP of the secondary server and try that - without any direction from Traffic Server.
It makes sense, because in a failure scenario you can't rely on the Traffic Server to be working properly, so the safest thing to do is handle it yourself if possible.

We have this configured on the client side, e.g if the client connection to trafficserver001 fails the client will attempt a connection to trafficserver002.

Hi All ,
How to switch failover traffic server to another traffic server, example we have two traffic server both points to domain (points to two ips using round robin) I had been access only one traffic server in client side if fails the first traffic server to switch another traffic server(i.e. second traffic server ) , Could you please explain how to configure this type of scenario ?
