Not sure about lb, but an shm file of 0000 is bound to get you into trouble :)

I have 2 tomcat instances on 2 machines ( running with different port numbers ) I set them up in a single lb group, using the same lb factor of 80 ( a number I picked arbitrarily ) my lb configuration is set to graceful=1, stickySession=1, and timeout=0 ( i've appended my workers2.properties as additional info ). However, it seems that when i turn on the apache2 and monitor the server, all the instances start going to the first instance in the list and bog that instance down. There doesn't seem to be any load balancing going on, nor is there any sort of failover when the instance becomes unusable ( the thread pool hits the maximum of 200 ) The documentation on mod_jk2 isn't all that clear and a lot of it seems to be geared for implementing the jni mechanism as opposed to the channel socket ajp mechanism. I must clearly be doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out. Additional q's : the mod_jk2 instance is constantly initing and shutting down. Is this normal operating procedure? does a higher lb factor or lower lb factor increase that machine's chances of being selected? do dashes ( - ) in the server name have any effect? I've listed my workers2.properties file inline for review. Thanks in advance for any help.
