RE: tomcat and proxuy cache server problem

[Martin van den Bemt <ma...@isallineed.org>]

A problem I had recently that someone forgot to add the FQDN in the apache
configs (ServerName). There only was the hostname.. That confuses proxies
regularly and sometimes even browsers..
So if your servername says www , it should be www.example.com..

Hope this helps.. (cannot help you with loadbalancing issues, since I never
played with it.)

Mvgr,
Martin

www.server.com

for ex)

when a client connect for the first time in www.server.com , he is redirect
to server web 1 ( for exemple ) . then a session is created (jsessionid=...
)in this server , and when he makes another GET , he must be redirected to
the same server web where he has a session opened .

when i tried to connect from the internet to www.server.com with a direct
connection , it s work very well .... session are always retrieved .
but when i tried to surf on www.server.com using a proxy -cache server
 like
squid ) to access to the internet , i have a problem with a JSP request .
the client isnot redirected to the right server , so he didnt retrive his
session .

and i dont know why ?

Any idea ? thank you from your help !!
do you thing that it is possible to  resolve this problem with installing a
cluster for the 2 server web  ?

Any solution ?
