External load balancer for non-HTTP invocations ----------------------------------------------- Key: JBCLUSTER-228 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBCLUSTER-228 Project: JBoss Clustering Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Reporter: Brian Stansberry Fix For: Backlog A server that functions like an HTTP load balancer, but intended for use with non-HTTP invocations, e.g. EJB invocations. Back end JBoss AS instances make this load balancer aware of deployments of clustered services; it load balances requests between them. Client proxies know how to talk to the load balancer(s). Main benefit is no need to open firewall to allow traffic to a fluctuating set of back end JBoss instances. Could also be useful in proxying requests from IIOP clients. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
