Sorry I am little confused about couple of things: 1. Based on what I read it looks like workers.properties is not loaded dynamically. And JkMountFileReload doesn't work for worker.properties but it works for uriworkermap.properties. 2. Wouldn't setting prepost timeout ensure that a check is made to see if remote machine is up before forwarding the request?
