Sounds great Paul.
What sort of environment are you using mod_jk in ?
- OS platform
- Version of Apache, Tomcat
- How many versions of Apache and Tomcat are you running in parallel in
order to mirror your Web Site so you can perform your load balancing.
- Are all your binaries custom built ?
Can you please e-mail me directly all relevant Apache/Tomcat configuration
files that I need to alter in order to use mod_jk in the manner you
describe. If this is too difficult cut and past the relevant pieces
commenting on where they are from into one file.
Regards,
George Shafik
