some tips: Using any java code for load balancing is never gonna work, just doesn't scale. Software load balancing, three alternatives are: Pen (http://siag.nu/pen) Balance (http://balance.sourceforge.net) and mod_jk. My favorite is pen, it is fast, works great and runs on unix and windows. If you can get a hardware loadbalancer, that is what you will want to do. that way you get most effect out of it.

I have a very busy web site that is a mix of static html, cgi (perl) , and j2ee stuff I am running rh9, apache 2 and tomcat 5 I am slowly migrating my perl/cgi stuff to j2ee Currently I have been trying to get a LVS setup working and just does not seem to work. (more details given if wanted) So what I am wondering is what are you guys doing. As I am looking to move more to j2ee, I am wondering if I should look at using apache2,mod_jk2 and tomcat5 load balancing, and getting rid of LVS The one part that bothers me, is all the articles and howto's show apache and tomcat load balancing on the same box. What I am thinking is having apache and tomcat on one box and then tomcat also on another box and let apache round robin the tomcat connects.
