I was assuming that if 1 Apache could not keep up with the traffic, adding another Apache httpd instance to the same box wouldn't make it any better. My guess was that adding another Apache meant setting up another box, which would certainly have its own IP address. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkgkYB0ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PA0YACfWFOkUVSwB0naA3cYD6JC1zlU VxYAoKncWKNXh7oikVhVHarHNK4sEAvM =fZBj -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: response goes through load balancer?
Hi Felix, Thank you for your help. One apache in the front end as load balancer is not sufficient for heavy traffic. If I use two apaches in the front, how to use DNS to load balancing Apaches? That is, some requests go to Apache1, and the others go to Apache2. For example, for the domain: www.mydomain.com there is only one IP for the domain in DNS. How to set up DNS for the purpose? For 10 tomcat instances, each Apache has the same 10 workers, or 5 workers/each apache? Thanks in advance for further help.

response goes through load balancer?
Hi, I am using Apache mod JK as load balancer for tomcat instances. Tomcat instances are on the different machines with public IP addresses. Will the HTTP responses go back to the Apache load balance? If so, it will slow down the response. how to instruct tomcat not to send response to Apache? Thanks for help.
