Hi Owen, Thanks for the reply and I now have a much clearer understanding of how this works. Instead of pointing mod_jk to the backend application servers, I can point them to a virtual server on the stingray that has the 2 JBoss application servers in a pool? The only time I wouldn't do this is if I'm using JBOSS clustering correct? Please let me know if I'm accurate with the traffic flow below: 1. Client requests some dynamic content from my site www.foo.bar 2. Stingray receives the request and then uses round-robin to distribute to the Apache servers for static content 3. Some type of dynamic request is made so mod_jk is pointing to a virtual server on the stingray that contains the 2 application server; stingray will then load balance to these 2 application servers Does any of this change if I decide to swap to mod_cluster? ...
