Subject: Re: load balancing with routing with mod_jk in cluster
Hi,
it seems that you want to use mod_jk on the nodes as balancer. We don't
use it
in that way. We have a load balancer in front of our nodes, which has a
standby
balancer, if the first one goes down. If we want to get your requested
behavior,
we had to configure this on our load balancer, not on the nodes. This
balancer
knows nothing about apache, tomcat and mod_jk. So I don't know how to
manage it
with mod_jk.
I don't know how your config should work. Because if N1 routes to all
other
nodes and N1 goes down, how should your client know, that he had to
connect to
N2? You need some logic in front of your cluster, that the clients see
your
cluster as one big server. If you want something like standby or hot
standby you
must implement this in the front logic, not on the nodes. And I don't know
if
this is possible with jk1.
Why do you limit the balancing to N1? Most of the work is done in your
servlets.
The balancing is not so hard, that it will bring your node down. If all
nodes do
balancing its no problem, if one node goes down.
But may be I don't understand your scenario.
