Just a quick post to say thanks, we went live using pen and 3 clustered instances of 
5.0.25 today and its working a treat. Load is spread almost perfectly. The only 
feature I would have as a "nice to have" would be to apply wieghtings to the target 
hosts but other than that spot on and no problems whatsoever so far.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So the supplied tomcat load balancer isnt of any use for stateful sessions where the 
cluster is spread accross several machines?

to paraphrase, you want to have it look like the same machine to the browser (ie user).

the easiest way is to use a hardware load balancer. I've use this approach a couple 
times in the past and it works well.

Hi,

I'm currently testing a setup up on 3 machines.

2 have tomcat 5.0.19, these 2 are clustered with session replication and have a simple 
test app.

The other, also 5.0.19, runs the supplied balancer app.

I've written a simple round robin rule which passes the requests back and forth as it 
should, I can see the sessions being
replicated fine in the logs so all is ok there.

BUT my problem is accessing the same session on both machines. Basically I'm stumped, 
I know its not accessing the same session
because the redirected URL is different but how can I get around this?

I've tried a using an HTML frame on the balancer machine but that was clutching at 
straws and obviously didnt work.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Ta
Matt
