Matt, thanks for the reply. Now, I ruled out the idea of using balancer application for my requirement. Is there a way of doing this with apache web server?
I will first try using Pen. I am working on that. I have to check if it works in all the OSs and if it is open source and free to use and distribute.

For what you want to do the balancer application is not suitable as a load balancer as it merely redirects the request to another server and does not act as a proxy like some other kinds of load balancers. The session ID is stored in a cookie, referenced using the hostname. If you are redirected to another server then you will lose the handle on the session. You will need to look into either a hardware or some other kind of software load balancer, I've used Pen before and found that to be quite good. -----Original Message----- From: Srinivas Rao Ch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 October 2004 13:46 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sticky session? I want to deploy a web application in clustering environment. The request may be processed by any of the clustered members, but the response has to go from Load Balancer (LB) only. In case the client book marks the page he should be taken to the same server(LB) irrespective of the cluster member which processes the request. I am using balancer application for clustering. In rules.xml I am specifying the cluster member address to be redirected to. Cluster member is processing and sending the response directly. From then if client performs any action the LB is getting bypassed. I don't want this to happen. I want the request to be processed by cluster member and the response has to be sent by the LB. I'll be very thankful to you if you can shed some light on this. Can we do this with the balancer application? If not can you please suggest the other ways?
