Yes. Costin suggested to use a special lb-factor. I would use -1 for the lb-factor. But this wouldn't solve the problem if someone set more than one worker to this value. To use a new config tag for optionally setting a default worker would be a cleaner way. And it would be easier to handle a connection error while connecting to the local tomcat in the service method. Because if my local tomcat has problems I could fallback to the normal selection of a worker by lb-factors. Bernd -- Dipl.-Inform.
