I am asking best practice/info/docs of how to have 2 apache web servers in load balancing.
- Which httpd module do I have to load in the http conf?
- I was reading that I have to have a web load balancer on top of them? Is it necessary? Can they accept requests from a cisco /F5 load balancer?
- What about persistent connection?
- Also we''ll have a mySQL server? Any more info about this?

Apache: reverse proxy, balancing and ssl client certificate authentication

I do no need http session cookie stickyness. The application is stateless. Can I somehow configure Apache as a transparent balancer?

Or I should use even another software - squid, iptables? The backend application is a web service running on Tomcat.
