tomcat session replication without multicast
- by Andreas Petersson
i am planning to use 2 dedicated root servers rented at a hosting provider. those machines will run tomcat 6 in a cluster.
if i will add additional machines later on - it is unlikely that they will be accessible with multicast, because they will be located in different subnets.
is it possible to run tomcat without multicast? all tutorials for tomcat 6 clustering include multicast heartbeat. are there any alternatives to SimpleTcpCluster?
or are other alternatives more appropriate in this situation?
