Cluster IP

Is there any way (based on software) to set an unique IP for the cluster? I mean, I would like to point my browser to an certain IP and have my request load-balanced among the nodes of my cluster.

I did something similar creating a client that looks for a HA service using its JNDI name. But I'd like to have the same using a browser.

I am using JBoss 3.2.6.

Thanks in advance,

HA is very different from load-balancing. So, while JBoss does do the whole HA-JNDI and other cool HA stuff, it doesn't do any load-balancing of HTTP requests. You'd have to set that up separately with some network appliance ... or if you have a genie and a few wishes ... well, try the network appliance. There are also some linux projects devoted to HA and load-balancing .. but yeah. Good luck.

Hi Diego,
Take a look at sticky sessions using apache, jk2 and jboss-tomcat.
