Same application context name, two clusters, one load balancer

[varun_narula]

Given a setup as follows -

Cluster Name :A

Node Name: A1

Application Context: /V1

Typical URL: http://A1:8080/V1/aaa

Cluster Name: B

Node Name: B1

Application Context: /V1

Typical URL: http://B1:8080/V1/bbb

Load Balancer: LB1

Both the nodes A1 and B1 are configured to point to LB1.

Question - Where would the load balancer LB1 forward a request for /V1 - to A1 or B1? Would it be able to figure out a request like http://LB1:6666/V1/aaa should go to node A1 or http://LB1:6666/V1/bbb should go to node B1 ?

What you want do looks weird, you can't use mod_cluster for that. you need to use mod_proxy_balancer.

configure the 2 balancers (cluster01 and cluster02) with the nodes corresponding to them.

and use:

ProxyPass /V1/aaa balancer://cluster01/V1/aaa

ProxyPass /V1/bbb balancer://cluster02/V1/bbb

to route the request to the right nodes.

Or use two instances of mod_cluster with different ports 6666 for the requests to cluster A and 6667 for the requests to cluster B ?

[jfclere]

that means 2 instance of httpd running on different port. I don't think you want that

Oh well, so mod_proxy it is
