the other approach that I've seen first hand is session based load balancing. I've used resonate in the past with session based load balancing. setting it up can be a bit tricky, but it does work. in the case of resonate, the have a heart beat on all the servers in the cluster. the load balancing

Two issues we've seen with IP based load balancing are: Super proxy farms (like AOL's) will bounce users around to different IP addressed proxy servers so to decrease bounces in your server farm you'll need to expand the IP sticky range from a single IP to something like a class C address block.

fun discussion. I think most hardware load balancers use the IP address, which is also one of the compliants many people have about them. Atleast if you ask Resonate, which makes software load balancing. I believe Cisco routers can also use session based load balancing, which gets around the

I guess I'm spoiled :) Usually I have atleast 2 machines to run load tests, or I use my own development environment of 4 servers. I definitely see value of being able to test out load balancers like Tomcat5 or hardware load balancer like Cisco LocalDirectory. using IP alias or spoofing to

What about IP aliasing - you can define multiple IP's to one network interface. Then you could ask jMeter to send request from particular IP (without any modification of TCP header). With that, webservers could do a reverse lookup. But now there is no possibility in jMeter to choose the IP requests

unfortunately, the only reliable way to make it appear one JMeter is 10 different IP addresses is to modify the TCP header. Even if you change the HTTPHeader, if the webserver uses reverse lookup, it will figure out it is the same machine. Your best option is to use 10 machines to hit the sa
