Hi Thanks for your help, we have now taken apache load balancing, and pointed it to the 2 jboss/tomcat servers, but we are loosing the session, when we login to the jboss hosted application, it times out the session, (but not when we do it without the balancing), i have set the entry in the server.xml for the engine name ie jvmroute="node1", but we are still getting a timeout problem do you have any suggetions? thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3966670#...
