I have found the implementation of the scheduler algorithms within mod_webobjects.
See Adaptor/loadaverage.c, random.c and roundrobin.c There you can see, that multiple http servers can send requests to application instances, but every http server holds its own index. So the balancing will not be perfect over multiple servers: From roundrobin.c: "There can be a problem with R/R when multiple http servers (with WebObjects adaptors) are forwarding requests to instances: each server/adaptor maintains its own index for round robin. This use of adaptor local data can cause undesired r/r behaviour - including the worst case: each server/adaptor sending requests to the same instance." LoadAverage works in a similar way, as you can see within the code, some responses from the application will contain additional headers, which contain information about the state of the instance (defined within config.h): x-webobjects-loadaverage x-webobjects-refusenewsessions With these headers the balancer can better decide, which instance should be used. But the values will be cached on the current mod_webobject adaptor, so the next request on another http server will use its own old cached values for the decision (updated within loadaverage.c la_finalize() after the decision). As I understand the code, the decision bases on the cached values, which will be updated after the request is bound to the chosen instance. But the cached values will not mirror the changes made by the other http servers and their mod_webobjects for the current request (only for the next request). ~André Am 24.09.19 um 16:02 schrieb Michael Kondratov via Webobjects-dev: > Yes > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Sep 24, 2019, at 4:52 AM, Mark Gowdy <go...@me.com> wrote: >> >> Does that work across multiple machines? >> >>> On 10 Sep 2019, at 20:53, Michael Kondratov via Webobjects-dev >>> <webobjects-dev@lists.apple.com >>> <mailto:webobjects-dev@lists.apple.com>> wrote: >>> >>> Daniel, >>> It is pretty easy.
