Can anyone recommend a good solution for an external loadbalancer. I need it to
have failover (two physical servers or something) and they must listen on the same
IP of course. Another preference is a low price. My actual question is, how do you do these
things with Tomcat?


Thanks in advance!

There are two options:
- Use sticky session.
In this scenario you don't need session sharing to do load balancing, but it would make the system more fail safe. (If one tomcat gets out of service, sticky sessions without session sharing loose all data from the current sessions on this server)


- Use no sticky sessions.
 In this case session sharing is a must.

You can have loadbalancing without apache and still use one domainname. Just use an external loadbalancer.

If you have apache in front of the different tomcat instances, apache would route the same browsersession to the same tomcatinstance on each request, or
not? This would make session sharing useless?
