[users@httpd] 2 Tomcat instances on one box: stop bouncing between them?

["Clute, Andrew" <Andrew.Clute@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have one box, 
that hosts both my dev and stage environments. Both are different config 
directories inside of JBoss 4.0.3sp1. Each one is bound to a different IP 
address. 

I have turned on the jvmRoute for both instances. 

The 
domain names are dev.foobar.com and stage.foobar.com 

For some reason, 
while my URL in the browser will stay the same, it will flip between which JBoss 
instance is responding. And when I look at the cookies for each flip, they are 
the exact same (sometimes I will get a '.stage' appending, but be shown the dev 
site). 

I am using the default config, so clustering is not enabled (I 
think). 

I am fronting this with Apache 2.2, using the new mod_proxy_ajp 
settings. 

Here is the relelvant httpd.conf sections:

Code:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName stage.foobar.com
ErrorLog logs/stage-error_log.log
CustomLog logs/stage-access.log combined

ProxyPass /jcore ajp://192.168.2.87/jcore smax=5 max=20 ttl=30 retry=60 route=stage
ProxyPreserveHost on
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *>
ServerName dev.foobar.com
ErrorLog logs/stage-error_log.log
CustomLog logs/stage-access.log combined

ProxyPass /jcore ajp://192.168.2.85/jcore smax=5 max=20 ttl=30 retry=60 route=dev
ProxyPreserveHost on
</VirtualHost>

There is no consistent nature to this. Anyone seen something like this before?

 

Thanks in advance!
