Mathias, It would be great to see some details on your experiences with load-balancing Tomcat, and any tricks you've come up with would be much appreciated by the community (well, at least my part of it ;)
We also run Tomcat 4.0 in production, behind a hardware load balancer. It's working great thus far, but we don't have nearly the traffic to require even the setup we have now, so I can't contribute an aweful lot except to say 'works-for-me' Aaron Dunlop > -----Original Message----- > From: Mathias Herberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 11:23 AM > To: Tomcat Developers List > Subject: Re: HA tomcat ( was: RE: 5.0 proposal) > [snip] > > Well, I know quite a few people who managed to get tomcat in > > production on a variety of sites ( including very large loads). > > I run Tomcat on 20 or so production web sites, with volumes in the > 2/3 million hits per day mark.
