Altough RFC 2616 does not require sending the Server header in HTTP responses, even says Server implementors are encouraged to make this field a configurable option, the Apache HTTP Server does not allow you to disable sending the this header via it's configuration. The only thing allowed is suppressing stuff like software version, additonal modules etc., so that you can strip it down to "Apache". Even mod_headers with it's Unset directive does not allow unsetting the header. Apache claims this a feature - a very annoying one in my eyes.
This tutorial shows how to set up a two-node Apache web server cluster that provides high-availability. In front of the Apache cluster we create a load balancer that splits up incoming requests between the two Apache nodes. Because we do not want the load balancer to become another "Single Point Of Failure", we must provide high-availability for the load balancer, too. Therefore our load balancer will in fact consist out of two load balancer nodes that monitor each other using heartbeat, and if one load balancer fails, the other takes over silently.
