1. mod_jk doesn't balance the load on the base of packets. 2. mod_jk works with sticky sessions so only new sessions are balanced. I belief but am not shure that it's just round robin.
3. Bill Barker claims that the load balancing is broken as the instances of mod_jk don't know the load of each other. So mod_jk will balance to some extend but not as good as it could/should. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 1:37 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: mod_jk lbfactor strangeness > > I've an apache servers with 4 backend app servers and using mod_jk to > balance the load over them. > > Two of the machines are a fair bit quicker than the other > two, so I've adjusted the weighting with lbfactor > > app1 (slow) = lbfactor=100 > app2 (slow) = lbfactor=100 > app3 (fast) = lbfactor=150 > app4 (fast) = lbfactor=150 > > Yet what I see is that app2 and app3 get most of the load? > > I've checked this with snoop(tcpdump) and counted the packets to the > various app servers.
