Apparently mod_jk does support several load balancing algorithms other than round-robin. You may want to set the "method" property of load balancer to Request or Traffic. See instructions on worker properties for details.
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/config/workers.html I think this will solve your problem. I am curious to know the results. If you need more sophisticated solutions, go with a hardware load balancer such as Cisco or BigIP.

I'm using mod_jk 1.2.14 with Tomcat 5.0.28. One issue that we occassionally run across is that an instance of tomcat will become unresponsive (due to out of memory errors for example) but mod_jk will still route requests to it. I realize the longer term solution here is to fix applications which cause tomcat problems (out of memory errors especially), but the reality is, these things happen, and don't cause a failover. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle situations like this? - Mott --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
