What is the best laod balancing method for 3 or more WO Server?
One minor thing to add: I'm not really sure exactly how much it
really helps, but we tend to use "round-robin" then stagger our
instances between the available servers.
Something like:
Instance 1 on WO1
Instance 2 on WO2
Instance 3 on WO3
Instance 4 on WO1
Instance 5 on WO2
...
...
We did this due to relatively high number of requests per sec.
Something in the order of 25-30 requests/sec 24-7. We wanted to
distribute the load as evenly as possible between our servers. Our
response times are generally very short but we process over 2 million
of them a day.

We run WO an two G5 (Dual) with MacOS-X-Server-Software. On each
computer (WO1, WO2) we have 8 instances of our applictation
running. One computer (WO1) ist running WOMonitor to manage the
load balancing.
We want to install a third computer (G5). Must we install MacOS X-
Server on this computer or could we use an normal MacOS X
System ?. Has MacOS X-Server-Sortware an advantage ?.

You can use plain MacOS X. Server has only minor advantages, which
mainly come down to various preinstalled utilities, and the Server
Admin app. If you have any familiarity with Unix systems at all,
you might as well avoid the extra cost of MacOS X Server.
Depending on what you mean by load balancing (saying that
JavaMonitor is managing load balancing implies that you may have a
slightly different meaning from me), just create a reasonable
number of instances on the new server, and use round-robin. In
other words, the same as for two servers, and not significantly
different from one server.
