mod_jserv documentation indicates that this should be done. Take a look at http://java.apache.org/jserv/howto.load-balancing.html However, we tried it but could not make it work. I dont know if mod_jk supports this, but I"ll be glad to hear that someone succeeded - Boaz -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kuz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2001 03:51 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: gracefull shutdown/removal of worker from load balance... Hello all, How do I remove a worker from the load balancer without killing its current sessions? i.e.: I don't want any new sessions created on that worker, and the existing sessions must be allowed to expire 'naturally' (I can't just delete the entry from the balanced_workers property of the load balancer or current/established sessions get killed/ are not redirected to the proper worker) Our setup: We've got multiple Apache web servers behind LVS with multiple TC(3.2) boxes behind the web servers... Thanks in advance.... Michael R.
