Hi, As I hadn't gotten any responses, I thought I throw this out there one more time. Is anyone sucessfully using load balancing with mod_jk where the load is properly balance according to the lbfactor set in the workers? I can only get an equal balance, despite what I assign to the lbfactor.

Hi, I am using Apache 1.3.22, Tomcat Tomcat-3.2.3 and mod_jk on Windows 2000 Professional. I have load balancing working fine with mod_jk across 2 instances of Tomcat except that it seems to ignore the lbfactor I assign to the workers. When the workers' lbfactors are both set to 1, they spread the load evenly across both instances of Tomcat. The problem is that if I set one to 1 and the other to 100 or 1000 ( iwant them to get all the requests), it still seems to send a disproportionate amount of requests to the Tomcat instance with the lbfactor of 1. Here is a snippet from my workers.properties: worker.list=loadbalancer worker.localworker.port=8009 worker.localworker.host=localhost worker.localworker.type=ajp13 worker.localworker.lbfactor=1000 worker.localworker2.port=9009 worker.localworker2.host=localhost worker.localworker2.type=ajp13 worker.localworker2.lbfactor=1 worker.loadbalancer.type=lb worker.loadbalancer.balanced_workers=localworker,localworker2 Is there something I am doing wrong? What I am basically trying to achieve is to send all my requests to one Tomcat instance and only if it fails send it to the other. Basically failover rather than load balancing. I have two Apache servers (which are load balanced through a hardware load balancer) and each one has a primary Tomcat and a failover Tomcat . I have even experimented with setting the lbfactor on the failover Tomcat to 0 with no effect. Has anyone done this before? Is the lbfactor even implemented yet?
