Qs on Load Balancing and JkMount

[Shahed Ali]

Hi ,   All the examples and archive messages that I have seen so far talk about load balancing using either multiple JVM's or Multiple <Connector> Directives with different port numbers and corrosponding workers in the workers.properties file.   But they all use different Mount Moints for each worker !   However my need is to Load Balance a *SINGLE MOUNT POINT* ( A single Virtual Apache Host corrosponding to a <Host> (context) in server.xml )   i.e I want http://ww.mysite.com/*.jsp to be load balanced by 4 worker threads.   I am currently using 4 JkMount Directives, and the server is up and running. i.e JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 JkMount /*.jsp Xajp13 JkMount /*.jsp Yajp13 JkMount /*.jsp Zajp13   Also if I name the workers ajp13a , ajp13b and ajp13c, apache does not start and gives me an error saying that it cannot find the workers file !!!   Anyway, my question are :-   1. Is this the right way to have a single mount point load balanced ? 2. If so, is it a good idea to run the tomcat instances in the same JVM ? Or should I run multiple tomcat/JVM     instances on the same / different servers ?   Thanks Shahed.
