Hi,
Thanks very much for the reply.
Ok, how is it possible? What would we need to extend / where would we plug
it in?
Yes, we'd like to balance on CPU usage of tomcat servers that Apache is
load balancing. Or, even, by having each tomcat app communicate with the
balancer to tell it how busy it is.
Our problem is that we receive a variety of requests, some of which are
very resource intensive and tie up that tomcat for a good while. Hence a
round-robin or balance factors algorithm are not very effective.
Do you have any ideas of a possible solution?
Many thanks,
David

Yes, it's possible, but I doubt it has any practical usage.
Since you are using load balancer, then usage is proportional
to it's balance factors.
If you ment to balance on CPU usage of remote backends,
then that'll be hard or even impossible due to AJP13
protocol limitations. That's why we are trying to make
a AJP14 protocol.

Mladen.
