I agree that loadbalancer.jar is a great concern!

No one's told me that a product like the Cisco Redirector would'nt work.

What's wrong with DNS round robin is that it does not provide session
sticky routing of a client to the same box.  Redirector and most other
true load balancer boxes do this.

Cisco Redirector and it's equivelants are in theory more reliable than
a CPU/Box running java and loadbalancer.jar.

Doesn't clustering solve this problem?

  Subject: session management
  
  Hello all
   
  I am running my application on three servers. All 
  are live servers . I am using dns round robin to acess them.
  Now my problem or issue is that I want to 
  have session of each end user on each server.. so if one server goes down the 
  end user can process to other servers with the same session.
  So i guess this may be possible with RMI, and I 
  also saw one xml.. rmi.xml in config folder . 
   
  can anyone suggest me some clue about this , how 
  i can achieve this goal. Does orion supports some in built help for 
  RMI.
   
  earlier i did this with loadserver, that was 
  working well, but the problem in that , if the server where loadbalancer is 
  running goes down , my application will be killed.
   
   
  Thanks
