That's a proven and widely used technique. +1 Deepak's "archetecture" document shows /way/ more hardware and sofwtare than is necessary. Since there's already a single point of failure (the topmost Apache httpd instance), you may as well use that to directly load-balance the bottom-most Tomcat instances. That eliminates 6 of the 10 logical servers in your diagram without, IMO, any loss of capability. It will certainly improve performance, too, without all that needless re-proxying. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAky4Y08ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCCwQCgkNaT4r9ON5nGayDu7KzBD2IV KKUAoJt9h8WB1PDmhlRRbvvK6luGNnQB =khy+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
