+<p>A load balancer is a worker that does not directly communicate with Tomcat.
+Instead it is responsible for the management of several "real" workers,
+called members or sub workers of the load balancer.</p>
+<p>
+This management includes:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+Instantiating the workers in the web server.
+</li>
+<li>
+Using the worker's load-balancing factor, perform weighted load balancing
+(distributing load according to defined strengths of the targets).
+</li>
+<li>
+Keeping requests belonging to the same session executing on the same Tomcat
+(session stickyness).
+</li>
+<li>
+Identifying failed Tomcat workers, suspending requests to them and instead
+falling-back on other workers managed by the load balancer.
+</li>
+<li>
+Providing status and load metrics for the load balancer itself and all
+members via the status worker interface.
+</li>
+<li>
+Allowing to dynamically reconfigure load-balancing via the status worker
+interface.
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+Workers managed by the same load balancer worker are load-balanced
+(based on their configured balancing factors and current request or session load)
+and also secured against failure by providing failover to other members of the same
+load balancer. So a single Tomcat process death will not "kill" the entire site.
+</p>
+<p>Some of the features provided by a load balancer are even interesting, when
+only working with a single member worker (where load balancing is not possible).</p>

+<p>A worker is configured as a load balancer by setting its worker <b class="code">type</b>
+to <b>lb</b>.
+</p>
+<p>
+The following table specifies some properties used to configure a load balancer worker:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li><b>balance_workers</b> is a comma separated list of names of the member workers of the
+load balancer. These workers are typically of type <b>ajp13</b>. The member workers do
+not need to appear in the <b class="code">worker.list</b> property themselves, adding the
+load balancer to it suffices.</li>
+<li><b>sticky_session</b> specifies whether requests with SESSION ID's should be routed
+back to the same Tomcat instance that created the session. You can set sticky_session to
+<b>False</b> when Tomcat is using a session manager which can share session data across
+multiple instances of Tomcat - or if your application is stateless.
+By default sticky_session is set to <b>True</b>.</li>
+<li><b>lbfactor</b> can be added to each member worker to configure individual
+strengths for the members. A higher <b class="code">lbfactor</b> will lead to more
+requests being balanced to that worker. The factors must be given by integers and the
+load will be distributed proportional to the factors given. Higher factors lead to
+more requests.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<div class="example"><pre>
+ # The load balancer worker balance1 will distribute
+ # load to the members worker1 and worker2
+ worker.balance1.type=lb
+ worker.balance1.balance_workers=worker1, worker2
+ worker.worker1.type=ajp13
+ worker.worker1.host=myhost1
+ worker.worker1.port=8009
+ worker.worker2.type=ajp13
+ worker.worker1.host=myhost2
+ worker.worker1.port=8009
+</pre></div>
+
+<p><font color="#ff0000">
+Session stickyness is not implemented using a tracking table for sessions.
+Instead each Tomcat instance gets an individual name and adds its name at
+the end of the session id. When the load balancer sees a session id, it
+finds the name of the Tomcat instance and sends the request via the correct
+member worker. For this to work you must set the name of the Tomcat instances
+as the value of the <b class="code">jvmRoute</b> attribute in the Engine element of
+each Tomcat's server.xml. The name of the Tomcat needs to be equal to the name
+of the corresponding load balancer member. In the above example, Tomcat on host
+"myhost1" needs <b class="code">jvmRoute="worker1"</b>, Tomcat on host "myhost2"
+needs <b class="code">jvmRoute="worker2"</b>.

+attributes, please consult the worker <a href="../reference/workers.html">reference</a>.

+<p>The load balancer supports complex topologies and failover configurations.
+Using the member attribute <b class="code">distance</b> you can group members.
+The load balancer will always send a request to a member of lowest distance.
+Only when all of those are broken, it will balance to the members of the
+next higher configured distance. This allows to define priorities between
+Tomcat instances in different data center locations.
+</p>
+<p>When working with shared sessions, either by using session replication
+or a persisting session manager (e.g. via a database), one often splits
+up the Tomcat farm into replication groups. In case of failure of a member,
+the load balancer needs to know, which other members share the session.
+This is configured using the <b class="code">domain</b> attribute. All workers
+with the same domain are assumed to share the sessions.</p>
+<p>For maintenance purposes you can tell the load balancer to not
+allow any new sessions on some members, or even not use them at all.
+This is controlled by the member attribute <b class="code">activation</b>.
+The value <b>Active</b> allows normal use of a member, <b>disabled</b>
+will not create new sessions on it, but still allow sticky requests,
+and <b>stopped</b> will no longer send any requests to the member.
+Switching the activation from "active" to "disabled" some time before
+maintenance will drain the sessions on the worker and minimize disruption.
+Depending on the usage pattern of the application, draining will take from
+minutes to hours. Switching the worker to stopped immediately before
+maintenance will reduce logging of false errors by mod_jk.</p>
+<p>Finally you can also configure hot spare workers by using
+<b class="code">activation</b> set to <b>disabled</b> in combination with
+the attribute <b class="code">redirect</b> added to the other workers:</p>
+
+<div class="example"><pre>
+ # The advanced router LB worker
+ worker.list=router
+ worker.router.type=lb
+ worker.router.balance_workers=worker1,worker2
+
+ # Define the first member worker
+ worker.worker1.type=ajp13
+ worker.worker1.host=myhost1
+ worker.worker1.port=8009
+ # Define preferred failover node for worker1
+ worker.worker1.redirect=worker2
+
+ # Define the second member worker
+ worker.worker2.type=ajp13
+ worker.worker2.host=myhost2
+ worker.worker2.port=8009
+ # Disable worker2 for all requests except failover
+ worker.worker2.activation=disabled
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>
+The <b class="code">redirect</b> flag on worker1 tells the load balancer
+to redirect the requests to worker2 in case that worker1 has a problem.
+In all other cases worker2 will not receive any requests, thus acting
+like a hot standby.
+</p>
+
+<p>A final note about setting <b class="code">activation</b> to <b>disabled</b>:
+The session id coming with a request is send either
+as part of the request URL (<b class="code">;jsessionid=...</b>) or via a cookie.
+When using bookmarks or browsers that are running since a long time,
+it is possible to send a request carrying an old and invalid session id
+pointing at a disabled member.
+Since the load balancer does not have a list of valid sessions, it will
+forward the request to the disabled member. Thus draining takes longer than
+expected. To handle such cases, you can add a Servlet filter to your web
+application, which checks the request attribute <b class="code">JK_LB_ACTIVATION</b>.
+This attribute contains one of the strings "ACT", "DIS" or "STP". If you
+detect "DIS" and the session for the request is no longer active, delete the
+session cookie and redirect using a self-referential URL. The redirected
+request will then no longer carry session information and thus the load
+balancer will not send it to the disabled worker. The request attribute
+<b class="code">JK_LB_ACTIVATION</b> has been added in version 1.2.32.</p>
