Subject: apache mod_proxy_balancer is not redirecting user request evenly to bakcend tomcat servers.

Hello Team,

I have configured loadbalancing using apache web server with mod_proxy and mod_proxy_balancer module.

I am having following versions of apache and tomcat

Apache web server version :- Server version: Apache/2.2.16 (Unix)
Server built: Sep 27 2010 12:48:44

Tomcat Application Server :- Apache Tomcat/6.0.26

Now the issue is the load is not balanced properly between the tomcat servers in the backend.

It means there are more users are on some tomcat and less users on other tomcats.

I wanted to distribute equal loads on all tomcats.

Kindly give me suggestions.

Let me know if any information is required.

Below is the configuration of loadbalancer in httpd.conf file.

# Port 80
   Listen server1:80

   <VirtualHost _default_:80>
      ServerName server1

        ServerAlias sev2
        <Directory /app>

        Order deny,allow

        Deny from all

        Allow from 153.88.251.174 153.88.251.160 153.88.251.165 153.88.251.170 153.88.251.212 153.88.251.199
