Load Balancing / multiple mount points

[Shahed Ali <sh...@enoor.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to load balance a virtual host running on apache 1.3.14 with
tomcat 3.2.


I have setup multiple worker threads and have Multiple JkMount points for
the same virtual
host pointing to the same mount point.

i.e
I have the following directives under the same apache virtual host (mapped
to tomcat context) directive.
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13a
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13b
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13c

I am running multiple instances of Tomcat from the same TOMCAT_HOME, but
with different server.xml files and
each server.xml file has its own log and work directories and the workers
listen on different ports.

Is this an acceptable way of doing Load Balancing for 1 website / context ?

Are there any docs on how to detrmine the load balance factor etc ?

Thanks
Shahed.
