[mod_cluster-dev] Using mod_cluster for backgroud services

Hi, I understand mod_cluster can distribute load across several jboss nodes. This seems great for load balancing incoming requests, but I'm looking for a solution to load balance internal system processes. Say I have a cluster of 4 nodes, monitoring 400 hosts and updating a central database with the statistics. So as a general rule, the system should - Balance so each node would monitor ~100 hosts. - Take each node load into consideration during load balance - Prefer some affinity/stickiness - Balance itself when a node goes down/up So all very similar to mod_cluster, only I'd like to balance internal work, rather than incoming requests. is this something mod_cluster could help with? Thanks, Itamar
