Oh ok. I am not sure how I got the round-robin thing in my head.
Anyhow, how does one configure this? 
I assume this is load balancer worker type configuration.

mod_jk neither supports round-robin, nor random load-balancing.

Currently you can choose between three algorithms:

method=B (busyness): choose the worker with the lowwest number of 
requests currently in processing.

method=R (requests): choose the worker that did the lowest number of 
requests until now

method=T (traffic): choose the worker that received+sent the lowwest 
number of bytes until now

In case you use "busyness", you might observe behaviour that's very 
close to round-robin during times of very low load. If load is very low, 
most of the time all workers will have no request in processing. So the 
busyness counter will always be equal to zero. Then mod_jk will pick on 
worker after the other, similar to round-robin.

As soon as there will be real load, behaviour will differ.

Regards,

Rainer
