We use LVS to balance load across our Apache layers already, so I'm quite familiar with it. It does do what I want here, except that there are several things we need from Apache: Access control, SSL termination, URL path based routing, etc. I considered using ipvsadm on the Apache box to route traffic to TomCats, but there is another EC2 specific problem: All the routing methods LVS uses don't work on EC2 because they _ONLY_ route TCP, UDP and ICMP: - Direct Routing messes with Ethernet headers. Not a chance. - Tunneling uses IP-in-IP tunneling, which is neither TCP, UDP nor ICMP. *grump* - NAT gets blocked by the EC2 firewalls, which makes sense. - I even tried setting up GRE tunnels; no love. So, yeah. Thought of that already too. :-) Anyone else have any ideas? So far, modifying /etc/hosts looks like the best solution, even though it tips my kludge-o-meter past my comfort zone. -Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
