# Define a load-balancing worker AJP_INSTANCE_NAME
worker.list=worker1 in GlassFish instances
#
# Define an ajp13 worker to represent instance1
worker.instance1.type=ajp13
worker.instance1.host=ec2-67-202-51-223.compute-1.amazonaws.com
worker.instance1.port=8009
#
# Define an ajp13 worker to represent instance2
worker.instance2.type=ajp13
worker.instance2.host=ec2-67-202-7-236.compute-1.amazonaws.com
worker.instance2.port=8009
#
# Define the type of worker1
worker.worker1.type=lb
# Add inst1 and inst2 to the balance_workers property of worker1
worker.worker1.balance_workers=instance1,instance2
