I am running a load balanced Apache2 - mod_jk2 configuration. I am wondering if there is an option in the configuration settings that would allow an administrator to dynamically close one or more of the connectors (stop it from accepting new connections) so that a given Servlet Engine can be shutdown, updated, restarted etc... this way when people enter the site the apache-mod_jk2 will not attempt to contact the Servlet Engine that is down but will be directed to another instance that is still running.
We already have a means of monitoring existing connections on each Servlet Container... so once the connector is not diverting traffic to a given container we can wait until the current users finish their work... is there a way to do this by updating some configuration settings dynamically ?
