yes, as you said. its working fine with 8.5 jars . also can you please help me to define balancer configuration like worker.properties , urlmapping.properties and proxy url config in mod_cluster.conf ? im migrating from mod_proxy to mod_cluster with ajp connector.

i have many clusters of balancers in my current configuration differentiated by URLs, ports .

below is my current config with mod_proxy, i need to migrate to mod_cluster with same not changing the load distribution, if i use the same, what is the use of workers.properties file and if backend server detects the httpd on its own then

how to guarantee the load distribution as defined in mod_proxy?

should i define many virtual hosts ? for each cluster defined here?

should i use the same below configuration along with mod_cluster ? still mod_cluster checks the tomcat's and particular context's load ?
