Description: mod_cluster is an httpd-based load balancer. Like mod_jk and
mod_proxy, mod_cluster uses a communication channel to forward requests
from httpd to one of a set of application server nodes. Unlike mod_jk and
mod_proxy, mod_cluster leverages an additional connection between the
application server nodes and httpd. The application server nodes use this
connection to transmit server-side load balance factors and lifecycle
events back to httpd via a custom set of HTTP methods, affectionately
called the Mod-Cluster Management Protocol (MCMP). This additional feedback
channel allows mod_cluster to offer a level of intelligence and granularity
not found in other load balancing solutions.
