I'm trying to re-architect our websites to work in EC2. One of the biggest problems I'm running into is the dynamic nature of hostnames and IPs.
Is there a way to tell mod_jk that it has a new worker on a new hostname without having to reload Apache? Similarly, to remove an existing worker that has gone away, or just to change the hostname of a worker. I'm picturing an API on the status worker, or something similar. I don't want to just rewrite workers.properties and do a reload because we have several long uploads happening at any given time that get interrupted. Reload/graceful works most of the time, but occasionally locks up the entire Apache instance, which is no good. I can't imagine we're the first to run into this problem, but I've done a lot of looking and can't find anything other than "rewrite workers.properties and reload Apache." Current versions: - Base system: RedHat EL4 (though we are not using their TomCat) - Apache: v2.0.63 (grabbed RedHat's EL4 2.0.52 SRPM and up-ported it to 2.0.63, and added a couple patches of our own for various security reasons.) - tomcat-connectors: v1.2.25 - tomcat: v5.5.17 I'm certainly willing to consider alternate versions if they'll get me the functionality I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for your help. -Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
