load-balancer

I'm using Apache 2 as my load balancer (mod_jk).

I've 2 Tomcat servers behind my load balancer.

What I'm trying to do is to enable caching of my static pages in my load balancer using mod_cache but nothing seems to be working. I confirmed this by creating a simple JSP page that prints out current date time and I always get the latest date time (indicating that the JSP page is not cached).
