True, but in the case of load balancing you would have to add an
individual jvmRoute to server.xml n any case. So I typically just set a
system property e.g. -Droute=node1 and use ${route} in server.xml. That
way the file stays consistent. Setting the system property can be done
in setenv.sh, where you could use shell logic to determine on what node
you are running.

Now: the same trick can be used when running without a load balancer. If
the shell script has a way to set the target name you want to be shown,
then just set a dummy system property like -Dworker=node1 and refer to
the system property "worker" in the filter.

Instead of "node!" etc. you could e.g. use the result of "uname -n" on
Linux/Unix.
