But later on we want to be able scale this setup. We are politicaly bound to WinNT. So we have following possibilities: [IIS/Apache + mod_ssl] + [isapi_redirect/mod_jserv/?] + [Tomcat/JServ/JRun] But I'm not quite sure which combination is the best. Important: We use sessions so when we use load balancing to multiple machines a user must be redirected to the right VM. I know mod_jserv does this trick. Does the isapi_redirect.dll do this, too? As far as I know JRun supports this feature only in the Enterprise version which is quite expensive. So I was thinking of: Apache + mod_sll + mod_jserv on the Webserver and Tomcat on the other machines. I checked the FAQ. Did I get it right... I just need a Apache+mod_ssl binary and then add the mod_jserv.dll to it? Or do I have to search for a Apache+mod_ssl+mod_jserv binary? (I don't want to compile it under windows by myself! Win is not Linux :-) How fast and stable is Tomcat vs JServ or JRun?! -- Torsten
