Normally in JBM when we refer to "load balancing", we're referring to the load balancing of create connection requests across nodes of the cluster. I.e subsequent connections will be created on different nodes of the cluster - this is true round robin load balancing, and is enabled by the "supportsLoadbalancing" attribute on the connection factory. Then there is another type of "load balancing" - but in JBM we call this "message redistribution" to avoid confusion. Message redistribution is the movement of messages which are already in queues between nodes of the cluster according to load.
