[users@httpd] loadbalancing apache/tomcat

[Hajo Locke <ha...@gmx.de>]

Hello List,

following situation: i have 1 apache which is connected by mod_jk to 
multiple tomcat servers.
Now it seems to get necessary that i also need to balance the 
apache-applications.
What is best practice in my case?
I think about nginx in first line which is connected to apache-servers and 
tomcatservers as backends.
in nginx-conf i should be able to devide requests to adequate servers, 
mod_jk is not needed any more because nginx is connected directly to 
tomcats.
is this a well setup or should be putted into practice in an other way?

Thanks,
Hajo

If u dont like nginx, with apache try mod_proxy_balancer and mod_proxy_ajp;

Nginx should use less RAM.

There is no best setup, choose the one that fits better with for your environment.
