yes, I know. But when I come in without a session the function get_most_suitable_worker in jk_lb_worker.c will find a worker by using the lb-factor and do weighted round robin. And at this position I would like to switch off the load-balancing and select the worker which is connected to tomcat on the same node. Because we have a loadbalancer in front of our cluster but it can't handle the sessions. So we need the routing of mod_jk for sticky sessions, but the loadbalancing would indefer with our loadbalancer.
With mod_jserv we did it with a little trick. The routing config and the nodeset for loadbalancing were separated. For routing we told mod_jserv all the nodes in the cluster, but for loadbalancing we build a nodeset with only the local node in it. A little perl script build the conffiles suitable for the nodes. But mod_jserv can only work with ajp12 and we would like to use the advanced features of ajp13. For mod_jk of tomcat 3.2.x I build an additional worker which did only the routing. And I added a new config command for declaring the local connected worker. But it is a little bit laborious to add this every time when the connectors change. Id would be nice if this feature was contained in mod_jk. I could do it and send the additional worker to the list/project.
