Hi Ryan, thanks for your response. yes, jvmRoute is already configured and running. my problem (or the one of the developers writing the application) is, that there are some checks performed on every single request. The result of these checks are needed for the next request (with different sessionID) of the same server and so on. For performance reasons, these results are not written to database but stay in the cache of the application. i know, that routing per source ip is not really reliable regarding proxy servers etc. but this is exactly what i want to do within my system. my servers are only contacted by other servers, which have mainly own ip-addresses. traffic analysis has shown that routing per source IP would result in a fair load-balancing and would solve some problems in application development.
