Hi Paul:
I'm using mod_jk with your patch including lb_value and lb_factor, on Apache 1.3. Thanks for adding this feature to mod_jk. We are using it for some experimental work here. I ran into a problem with multiple Apache processes, however, and was wondering if anyone has addressed this yet. The problem is that with multiple processes, each process does its own load balancing and hence has its own idea of lb_value for each worker its loadbalancing. Hence, we can't get a 'global' loadbalancer with this approach. The solution is to probably use shared memory among the Apache processes. Do you know of an existing solution for this, or should I go ahead and implement it? Please include my email address in the reply as I'm not monitoring the developer's mailing list yet. Thanks again.

This causes the lb_factor to become very large if the lb_factor >in workers.properties is 0. lb_value always starts at 0. -- Pankaj K Garg, HP Labs [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1501 Page Mill Road 650-857-4709 Palo Alto, CA 94304 650-852-3732(fax) http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Pankaj_Garg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
