Dear Experts,

     We have two JBoss nodes in a cluster in two seperate machines.

Apache Web Server and MOD_JK (for Load Balancing between two Nodes) are installed in the third machine.

The two Nodes are configured as workers in Apache Config using workers.properties :-

# Define list of workers that will be used for mapping requests
worker.list=loadbalancer,status

# Define Node1

# modify the host as your host IP or DNS name.
worker.node1.port=8897
worker.node1.host=192.456.232.3
worker.node1.type=ajp13
worker.node1.lbfactor=1
#worker.node1.cachesize=10
#worker.node1.cachesize OR worker.node1.connection_pool_size can be used.

# Define Node2

# modify the host as your host IP or DNS name.
worker.node2.port=8897
worker.node2.host= 192.456.232.2
worker.node2.type=ajp13
worker.node2.lbfactor=1
#worker.node2.cachesize=10
#worker.node2.cachesize OR worker.node2.connection_pool_size can be used.

# Load-balancing behaviour
worker.loadbalancer.type=lb
worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=node1,node2
worker.loadbalancer.sticky_session=1
#worker.list=loadbalancer
# Status worker for managing load balancer
worker.status.type=status

.

But , when URLs are requested through Apache Web server , all the URLs are served by the Node2.

None of the URLs goes to the Node1.

The MOD_JK.log lists the following for the Node1 :-

Please help to find a solution !!
