Hello Giles,

You mean we should disable stickyness option to distribute load evenly on all tomcats.

Is there any other way to distribute load evenly on the servers without disabling stickyness option in apache configuration?


Stickyness is, in general, needed - so that each user who accesses the site tends to use the same backend server - otherwise you might find that users are, for instance, redirected to a logon page when they click a link within the application. This is because that user only established the session with one of the backend servers. There are various methods on how to achieve that stickness and you will have to take a look at how your backend application works to find out what might give you the best load balancing results.

Because of this stickyness though, you will never get exact 50/50 or 33/34/33 load balancing, but as you increase the number of users the statistical even-ness of your load balancing ought to level out.
