Hi,

I had Enhydra 6.4.1 installed on my development machine and
the production machine. In the production environment, we
use apache as our web server. I also had to configure
apache to talk to tomcat and do the load balancing. I
downloaded mod_jk2, had the workers.properties and the
rest. During testing, I notice the load balancing did work,
but with heavy testing, the apache crashed with an error
msg. I googled the message and found out it is a known
problem. I also email other developers to verify they had
the same problem. Then, I gave up the idea of using
mod_jk2. I am now using mod_proxy and mod_rewrite to do
simple load balancing (it is not pretty), but it works. 

Now, apache comes out with a new version, guess what, they
no longer support mod_jk2. Therefore, I think it would not
be a good idea to use mod_jk2. 

Hope this help. If you really would like to try out the
mod_jk2. I can send you my configuration files and how I
did my setup.
