Actually that's the other way my colleague and I came up with. It seems a
little clumsier, but will work for us.

Thanks. What kind of timeframe are we looking at?
cheers,

Hi David,
no internally it works like that: an lb worker has an internal
representation of the status of it's balanced workers. This is created
during initialization, so each lb worker has his own view of the
balanced workers. They don't share any information, like disable/stop,
error or usage counters/load (and that's something I want to keep).
The alternative approach I was thinking about is giving each (non-lb)
worker an optional attribute "jvmroute". The attribute is never used
except when the worker is being configured as a balanced worker for a
load balancer.
If a load balancer looks for the config of it's balanced workers, it
checks for the attribute "jvmroute". If it exists, it uses this name for
stickyness. If it does not exist, it uses the name of the worker.
The change is completely compatible with existing configs. In your case,
you would configure one worker pr tomcat target *and* per lb. Say you've
got TC1 and TC2 as tomcats and LB1 and LB2 as lbs. Then you configure 4
workers:
worker.lb1tc1.type=ajp13
worker.lb1tc1.host=HOST_OF_TC1
...
worker.lb1tc1.jvmroute=TC1
worker.lb1tc1.disabled=WHATEVER
... 2 further workers ...
worker.lb2tc2.type=ajp13
worker.lb2tc2.host=HOST_OF_TC1
...
worker.lb2tc2.jvmroute=TC2
worker.lb2tc2.disabled=WHATEVER
and two lb workers:
worker.lb1.type=lb
worker.lb1.balanced_workers=lb1tc1,lb1tc2
worker.lb2.type=lb
worker.lb2.balanced_workers=lb2tc1,lb2tc2
That way you can configure all attributes of the balanced workers per lb
and the implementation changes are far less risky. I'll see, what I can
do ...
