But you have more options than just Apache httpd and some expensive hardware load-balancer. You can use one of the other fine products like Nginx, lighttpd, Squid, IIS (maybe not "fine", but still available) or others to act as a load balancer / reverse proxy. Tomcat has never implemented this kind of thing because honestly it really doesn't make any sense. Tomcat should be a web application server that must have an HTTP front-end. Acting as a reverse proxy is really out of scope, and other products are much better-suited to this kind of task. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJTT+iYAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYh2MP/jcrHE9Zh8rd7VP2rY8qdiK+ ULl9CvOwFW6rjVGTjauaodMs4bHoJU/0lrgOELdzsW0vZ9Ui0fqqh1LUogRMv+c6 xN1U0WCwvZuTKQDaGe3fz3LU00Bsy+17PQ5AWsnYMEX77pFa7R2JVQNbfewin4b8 i4zObzzxCykI2a5Pl0Ybdpa34zA2MD7EPSsOfsKw4autiNSxuKw/zwA5D/fkm7MD 3hxkGZ9UCTXf1k0llsmezOoDjTgqP7+CftnUIH6bKVzuMxe9iOI1zNrK+Tk8EeDa uVkicAkKh5nRVMlQoH7aw5ooMzTqd5FyNenk/q65sJebpXxYDHJPb7KXqp9zQcUg LHbyF3+SmPfDbLgGwelNd8lzoaG99jOXwhYujilsSCkNj6Vbzk6gHuDPCDrbUfH9 V7SAp151f8njR/WzfApyJAvtNUsl+S+E1CIB5xNLtvlm29+iI1my5Cq88CwFy506 GOh+PpqIsmaxqenZ3vDbEYmYZjjxs6/t2a8uO6sGy34FUNDQCnswgGpEX+udjdfG f80A2Shn+L1cBex1qVt5LhFprZtxHN2KOnF1CXqJ1Fsyw977YhG8D9VkNZF5+jDh sF9jKZ1oOmQSNKrmDSUIqSHO1z+g0EAW2z+ZEpF5v4X2y2W1pQWieqzJyhrfIdOE aT2QbGRoLkvGkmW7OkZT =r1zb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
