However, from the Tomcat docs I understand that any change to server.xml
requires a restart of Tomcat which would mean that the existing
(non-dummy)
hosts which are already in production, i.e. up and running, will also be
taken offline. This is the heart of the problem...

Just as another look on the issue.

This may be one case where the added complication of having an Apache
httpd in front of Tomcat is justified.


Do you have any info on processing times using apache + mod_jk?

Your app will be the defining factor in terms of responsivity, there is an overhead when using HTTPD in front of Tomcat but it's usually negligible compared to the time spent in your application.


OP: Chris asked you if you were using session replication, I'd also ask if so, which type?

If your interest is in load balancing, you are using sticky sessions and you are not too bothered about forcing re-login or session re-initialisation when the client shifts node, you could disable session replication.

A positive change in performance would confirm that session replication is causing the slow down in the one node.


You didn't specify (did you?) which algorithm you are using to load balance, have you experimented with the various options available?

Thanks.
