Hi,

I'm using an Apache <---> 3 Tomcats loadbalancing scenario with

Apache 1.3.26 mod_jk 1.2.0
3 x tomcat 4.0.4

The tomcats are configured with:
Xmx: 512m
AJP13 Connector allows for 800 connections

Each worker is set up like this and added to an loadbalanced worker

worker.host1.port=8009
worker.host1.host=host1
worker.host1.type=ajp13
worker.host1.lbfactor=10
worker.host1.socket_timeout=300


I keep experiencing the following problems:
-The threadcount of each tomcat process keeps increasing (never decreases)
- The memory usage keeps also increasing
- When examinig the tomcat process with "ps -aux" I see many(>200) threads
older than 1 day.
    I  thought that teh socket_timeout would always stop such threads after
5 minutes

The AJP-Connectior threads keep throwing exceptions like:


2002-12-09 16:58:59 Ajp13Processor[8009][583] process: invoke

- When a tomcat instance gets into problems some connections still seem to
work while others emit:

2002-12-09 13:32:25 Ajp13Processor[8009][155] process: invoke
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

problem is that the mod_jk module (in the apache server) sometimes doesn't
notive that a tomcat instance has problems and keeps sending connectuions to
this particular instance , thereby freezing the whole cluster.

----------

Now my question is:

Do you think that upgrading to some other version of  tomcat, mod_jk, apache
...... would solve some of my problems. Any experience with tomcat
load-balancing under high -loads (Currently ~1 million pageviews/day).


Any help would be appreciated?

llap,
julian l�ffelhardt
