With "mostly" i mean i handle several cluster rangeing from 5.x to
6.0.28. I'm interested in the 6.0.x trunk cluster capabilities and
handling (since are the one that i handle on my own).

Yes, my bad :) Tomcat 6.0.26.

I use httpd + mod_jk as frontend to load balance among all the backends
(lb worker). The backends use the BackupManager to achieve
clusterization enclosed in the <Engine> tag.

My Logs are strange. After a (successfull?) startup, i start getting some
errors that seems indicating a bad
clustering behavior:
----[ Successfull startup? This ip is other node's - this is a two nodes
cluster ]----

All this continues to be outputted unless i restart my nodes some _random_
times (I keep each istance down at least 1 hearthbeat long).
That's why i need to know if they are really "clustering". Is the errors
suppressed because they "works" or
because they "ultimately decided not to work at all" and just gave up?

I don't have a logging.properties file. All the settings are "default".
Thanks very much for answering my question.
