I am considering using Apache 2.0.55 with mod_jk-apache-2.0.55 to load
balance a Tomcat cluster.
I would like to remove a Tomcat node from the cluster without first
shutting it down to allow any requests in progess to complete. Is it
possible to instruct Apache to stop routing requests to the node and
failover another node yet allow all requests in progress to complete.
Then, I would shutdown the node for a software upgrade.
I tried updating the workers.properties file and setting disabled=True
but it did not have any effect. It seems Apache does not re-read the
file after a modification.
Any suggestions?
Is the a web interface to administer the mod_jk load balancer?
Thanks,
Gary Blomquist
