Apache mod_jk's session not sticky

[William Lee]

I'm using Apache 2.0.43, mod_ssl, mod_jk 1.2, and Tomcat 4.1.14 (the test release). I've set up Tomcat so it runs behind the apache. My test of having 1 worker behind a load balancer works perfectly without any problem. However, once I added another machine, it seems like my user's session is jumping back and forth between the two machines. This, of course creates a big problem.

My servlet involves a form-based login page, in which the login code would remove the old session and attach a new one once the user has authenticated against the authority. Would this create a problem? I'm wondering how mod_jk handles the stick sessions. It does seem to be pretty random when it jumps back and forth between the two machines I have here.

I've turned on the debug log in mod_jk but it doesn't tell me all that much. Is there any other mechanism available for me to debug this?
