Hi

I have a problem where my load balancer (cisco) checks availability of =
my dynamic web pages on tomcat by checking a specific URL for certain =
text. The LB checks every 1 minute and the problem I have is that it =
creates a new session on every request.

After 2 days Tomcat dies due to lack of memory/with too many users, ie. =
many sessions created by the load balancer.

Is there anyway that tomcat can be configured to ignore the load =
balancer (maybe by its IP) and either not create a new session for it, =
destroy the session immediately, or by maintaining a single session for =
the LB?

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated,

Thanks

Lea
