Do you remember that mail about "lb_factor"? What you said it right about lb_factor. Changing this value does not affect easily.

I shut down each server in turn, and the load got balanced fine between the remaining two - on starting up the third server again, one always becomes idle (not always the same, above all...). Not talking about the fact that setting lb_factor to whatever value doesn't seem to have much effect on the load distribution... At least, I found out that lb_factor has nothing to do with a "factor", indeed - assume that each worker has an initial "lb_value", set to it's lb_factor. With every request, a worker is chosen, its lb_value gets increased by its lb_factor, and if it's smaller than lb_value of the other nodes, that worker gets the request. If lb_value is > 255, it gets resetted to 0. ^^ Just search archives of Apache User Mailing List, found it there (and hope I understood correctly) - however, the mail was from some months ago, so I really don't know if it still works like this. I'd really like to know if someone has managed to build a cluster of more than 2 Tomcat servers, using Apache + JK2, with working loadbalancing? Just curious... If someone could give a hint why it does such strange things (like "ignoring" cluster nodes), we'd of course be thankful, too... :) Greets, Nicole -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Kommuru, Bhaskar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 17.

My problem is my mod_jk2 doesnt even load balance to remote server. When i shut down local servers, it puts the request to remote server.. no cluesss!! -----Original Message----- From: Weseloh, Nicole [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 11:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: JK2: lb_factor Hello, I've got a cluster with 2 tomcat 2.0.25 on different machines, on one of them also running Apache 2.0.49 with JK2 as a loadbalancer. Requests get redirected to both tomcat instances, but it always ends up with around 1/3 of all requests at the local server and about 2/3 at the remote one, no matter what value the lb_factors are. So, could anyone tell me which values I should use to make the lb_factor work correctly? All information I found was that "a lower value means more requests" (official JK2-documentation at jakarta.apache.org). ===================================== My workers2.properties: [lb:lb] stickySession=1 # First Tomcat Instance (Localhost / 10.32.97.44) [channel.socket:localhost:8009] port=8009 host=127.0.0.1 group=lb lb_factor=1 tomcatId=tomcat01 # Second Tomcat Instance (10.32.97.23) [channel.socket:10.32.97.23:8009] port=8009 host=10.32.97.23 group=lb lb_factor=1 tomcatId=tomcat02 # define the worker for tomcat instance 1 (localhost) [ajp13:localhost:8009] channel=channel.socket:localhost:8009 # define the worker for tomcat instance 2 [ajp13:10.32.97.23:8009] channel=channel.socket:10.32.97.23:8009 #This is the application to test the cluster / load balancing... [uri:/benchmark/*] info=Benchmark application ==================================== Anything wrong with that? Anything missing? If more information needed, just tell me.. I just guessed that the workers2.properties is the problem.
