RE: Performance/stability issues

Hi Jan,

We are using Resin 1.2.7 in Production - we have also built using 2.2
however it was even worse in terms of performance.

have sticky sessions?

We do not use sticky sessions traffic is distributed evenly unless a server
fails a health check

We have looked at this however the main problem with Resin LoadBalancers
option is that sessions are not communicated afaik - people would then be
logged out every time they hit a new server via the loadbalancer.

The two things we have been looking at are a: having a huge single backend
resin server [4 processors - 4 gig] or using sticky sessions on the
loadbalancers.
