Its almost equivalent to implementing tribes in .NET or whatever the language. >From what your are proposing it seems that the ability to be load balanced by Synapse will be conditional on having the same group communication mechanism as Axis2. Isn't this a limitation ? The goal should be to do something with minimum work. Azeez as Paul suggested can we not have some sort of an intelligent LB that can manage heterogeneous clusters with different group communication mechanisms? Each cluster could broadcast it's cluster info via a plugging which bridges this info into a common format that the Synapse LB understands. This provides the Synapse LB with a consistent view of the entire heterogenous cluster. Based on that info then the intelligent LB can make its decesisions. This allows each cluster to be managed by Synapse while stilling having their own group membership. Regards, Rajith
