Brian, thanks for all of your help. I do have another question regarding on how we are setting up the 3 nodes. I am using apache with mod_jk and want to setup the cluster as follows. | Node1 Node2 Node3 | Active Standby Active | Buddy node2 Buddy node2 | and setup the load balancer to send traffic to either node1 or node3 and only send to node2 if 1 or 3 are down I want to do this to reduce the amount of memory required for running this many instances. Will this work? and is it worth while to do it this way?? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4020729#...
