Hello Daniel, Thank you very much for your advice. Based on it I modified the configuration: <Proxy balancer://tomcat-cluster> BalancerMember https://192.168.1.40:8443 route=TOMCAT_SRV1 timeout=10 retry=30 BalancerMember https://192.168.1.50:8443 route=TOMCAT_SRV2 timeout=10 retry=30 ProxySet stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests ProxySet failontimeout=on ProxySet failonstatus=500,502,503 ProxySet forcerecovery=off ProxySet nofailover=off </Proxy> I removed ping parameter because it does not work for GET requests. Now when the first server is in "bad condition" (192.168.1.40:8443 is available, but the server does not respond), Apache waits 10 s and than it sends 502 error to client, instead of using the second server. What is wrong? Thanks in advance.
