Mandatory Directive | Description |
worker.list | Specifies the load balancer worker. When starting up, the mod_jk module instantiates the worker that is specified in the worker.list directive. |
Connection Directives | Description |

lbfactor | Integer number (load balancing factor) that determines the worker's work quota. The load balancer worker compares the lbfactor of the real workers before routing the requests to a worker. For example, if worker1 has lbfactor=5 and worker2 has the lbfactor=1, worker1 can receive five times more requests than worker2. Default value is 1. |
Load Balancer Directives | Description |
