I've got a problem with mod_jk2 and Apache2 under FreeBSD and I think it is a bug. I configured mod_jk2 for two Tomcat servers. If one of these machines is down (unplugging the network cable), mod_jk2 should send all requests to the server that kept running. That is working 90 percent of the time, but sometimes forwarding the request takes about 75 seconds. I found out that this is the default socket timeout of FreeBSD. The problem is that I configured mod-jk2 the way, that it has its own timeout for connecting (see attached workers2.properties). But this value is not recognized. If I decrease the default connect timeout for FreeBSD (by /etc/sysctl.conf), mod_jk2 will use this value and everything is fine. But I don't want to decrease that value, it could cause other problems. So I think it is a bug, that mod_jk2 is not using the timeout values from its workers2.properties in FreeBSD. Btw exactly the same setup for Apache2 and mod_jk2 works fine on Linux. ------------------------------ [logger] level=DEBUG [shm] file=/tmp/shmFile # Defines a load balancer named lb.
