Hi, I'm quite new to Apache, and trying to understand what a graceful restart on Windows actually does. I'm running Apache with mod_jk with multiple Tomcats. When we add a new Tomcat, I would like to update the workers.properties file and then restart Apache so the changes take effect. Would anybody be able to explain exactly what happens, or point me to documentation that already exists? I've searched the mailing lists and googled a lot, with not much detail. My main concern is whether its possible for requests to be dropped during this process, and whether session affinity is maintained - eg if a browser is already talking to a certain Tomcat, will it continue to talk to exactly that one after the restart?
