Hi all,

I would like to ask for your advice on a clustering issue. I intend to run a
Tomcat cluster with a very old and simple application *, so the supported
Servlet/JSP specs don't matter to me at all. What essential is that I want
to adjust my cluster dynamically - i.e. add and remove nodes without the
clients taking notice of the change. Session replication, failover, robust,
reliable implementations are for me.

I did read both the v5.5 and v6 manual on this issue (and other docs), and I
know that the cluster support is completely rewritten in the new version.
Still, I'm unsure which version to use.

Any kind of advice would be most welcome!

Thanks in advance,
Gergely Paljak
