This is the 2nd load balancing question I've asked of the group in the last week, and I haven't received a single response. I've looked on the web & in the archives, but can't find an answer.
Is anyone actually using the load balancing in 3.3a? I'm sure that there are some. My company would like to use Tomcat for a lot of future work, but I've got to get the load balancing working before we can commit to it 100%. If someone has some insight into the problem I describe below, please let me know. Maybe it's as simple as I'm testing incorrectly, but if that's the case, someone please point me in the right direction.
