Hi, I have a load balancing setup using Apache 2.2.2 (Win32) and 2 instances of Tomcat 5.5.15 and 5.5.17. So far I have been able to establish a successful load balancing using sticky sessions with the following config:
ProxyPass /test balancer://testcluster stickysession=JSESSIONID nofailover=On <Proxy balancer://testcluster> BalancerMember ajp://127.0.0.1:18009/test smax=5 route=node01 BalancerMember ajp://127.0.0.1:28009/test smax=5 route=node02 </Proxy> I am not wanting to setup a tomcat cluster for this deployment but have 2 independant instances of tomcat running independant sessions. Currently this is also setup to not failover if an instance goes down. For instance node01 is shutdown, the status is: LoadBalancer Status for balancer://testcluster StickySession Timeout FailoverAttempts Method JSESSIONID 0 1 byrequests Worker URL Route RouteRedir Factor Status ajp://127.0.0.1:18009/test node01 1 Err ajp://127.0.0.1:28009/test node02 1 Ok All expected and a request to node 1 results in a 503 response. My question therefore is: Within the context of a scheduled down time such as redeployment of the application or reboot of the server I would like to be able to control closure of the load balancer. For example, node 1 is targeted to be shutdown for maintenance, currently I have 10 user sessions on that instance and say 9 on node 2. If new users join then the load balancer will evenly distribute to each node per request. What I want to control is that each NEW user should only go to node 2, then each session on node 1 will expire eventually leaving 0 sessions on node 1. Node 1 can then be removed cleanly for maintenance and its status set as disabled. Is there a current method of performing this in either mod_proxy or mod_jk - I don't mind which but would like to gain that control?
