Which version of tomcat do you use ? Do you use mod_jserv or mod_jk ? There are two 2 different implementations of loadbalacing (at least from the configuration site) One came to tomcat from mod_jserv. It is described at http://java.apache.org/jserv/howto.load-balancing.html The other is new and comes with mod_jk. It is described at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/Tomcat-Workers-H owTo.html The theory (of the jserv version) so far: In case of load balancing jserv appends an identifier to the session id which identifies the server that received the first request for the session. The identifier is used to send each following request for the same session to the same machine. So to use load balancing you either have to enable cookies in your browser or to call response.encodeUrl() for the internal links in your page. If it fails for you, the first thing to look at is the session id. The session id should look like: To1028mC5487727979769673At.JS1 Where JS1 is the symbolic name of your server (First argument to ApJServHost) I don't know if this applies to mod_jk. > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Manne Anliot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 2.
