Alexander -
From reading your emails, it sounds like you have the following setup
F5 HW-balancer
|
/ \
/ \ Level 1 balancing
/ \
HTTPD1 HTTPD2
| |
---------------- Level 2 balancing
| | |
TC1 TC2 TC3
Is that correct?
You state that you want to eliminate Level 2.
However, from a performance standpoint, why would you? Without the Level 2
balancing, it is conceivable that one of the 3 Tomcats could end up processing
the bulk the JSP requests.
However, Pid is correct. If you are worried about performance, you could drop
the HTTPD servers and balance directly to the Tomcat servers. Tomcat is just
as fast at delivering static content as HTTPD, and it simplifies deployment.
