How do I load-balance 2 Windows 2003 Servers, where each server box
contains an Apache2 server and a Tomcat5 Java Servlet? Session affinity
is important because the servlet uses session objects.
We were trying the Microsoft NLB software coming with Windows 2003, but
that appears to be unsuitable because on each server box the
Web-frontend (Apache2) communicates internally with the backend service
(Tomcat5) via TCP/IP again. For each server box, both the Apache2 and
Tomcat have been configured with the same non-public dedicated
IP-address of the server-box, and the server-box should not be aware of
any load-balancing stuff going on there.
We have only a limited hardware/software bugdet and would prefer an
open-source solution, or possibly a hardware solution if it us not too
expensive.
Anybody out there who had a similar problem and found a solution?
