Hi,
I am using mod_proxy_balancer, because in that case I would be able to handle load balancing or failover. I followed this URL: http://www.johnandcailin.com/blog/john/scaling-drupal-step-two-sticky-load-b alancing-apache-modproxy for php. I have placed PHP sessions on mounted location and it is working fine. Also both Apache(WEB1, WEB2) servers again using mod_proxy_balancer to load balance tomcat instances. If we enable WEB2 then tomcat loses sessions.

Session replication works, if single Apache is handling 2 tomcat instances. When we start second Apache, tomcat session replication stops. We want to have failover for PHP side too. Why are you using mod_proxy_ajp module. You should use mod_proxy_balancer. For PHP load balancing and session stickiness it can easily be implemented using cookie based approach. And one more interesting thing is that you should use less request counting method to handle Load Balancing efficiently. Please follow the documentation carefully. You can achieve your goal instead of HAproxy solution.

I fail to see how that decreases complexity. You have to learn how to configure two things, instead of one thing twice. HAProxy also cannot serve static files, whilst a load balancing httpd can.
