I have 2 CF enterprise servers with 2 instances (so far) of CF on each physical server. I have set up separate virtual sites for each instance in Apache and have configured the loadbalancer to do health checks on each individual instance (through the virtual site).
Everything works fine until I set up the instances in a cluster. Once that happens, the JRUN connection in apache gets a list of instances in the cluster from the instance that it connects to and from then on would use any of the 4 instances to server the request. This is a problem because if the CF service encounters an issue (as happened this morning when I was receiving 500 null errors on one of the instances) the JRUN connector is not smart enough to stop using that server, but my custom health check (done by the loadbalancer) would be. Is there a way to force the JRUN connector to use an individual instance while maintaining session replication? That's all I really want, for the request to be served by any of the instances (managed by the loadbalancer currently), except the instances that have failed my custom health check, while still having session replication, so that when people switch instances they do not lose their session. I know one way to do this would be to use the build in web server, but this is not recommended for production use, and I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to set it up (Is there a way to change the web root?) Any thoughts would be appreciated.
