Redirecting http request to two different weblogic servers using the Weblogic proxy and Apache2

I've read previous posts like "Redirecting https requests to two different weblogic servers using the Weblogic proxy and Apache2". But I have a different situation and I don't think I'm understanding this to well. I have an Apache 2 server (server1) that will receive http request for my application. Then I have two more servers (server2 and server3) with Web Logic 9.2 runing on ports 7000 (server1) and 8000 (server2). I want the users to enter appname.domain.com and be redirected between the two web logic servers, always keeping appname开发者_StackOverflow中文版.domain.com (this is hidding servername:port from URL). How can I manage to do that?

Thanks in advance!

Use the Apache HTTP Server plug-in provided by BEA/Oracle to front and load balance request to your application.

I'd use a virtual host here, something like this:

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/test/VirtualHost1"
    ServerName appname.domain.com   
    <IfModule mod_weblogic.c> 
    #... WLS parameter ...
    WebLogicCluster 192.168.1.100:7000,192.168.1.200:8000
    # Example: MatchExpression *.jsp <some additional parameter>
    MatchExpression *.jsp PathPrepend=/test
    </IfModule>
</VirtualHost>

This config should balance requests to http://appname.domain.com/ to http://192.168.1.100:7000/test and http://192.168.1.200:8000/test.

Refer to the official documentation for all the details:

• Installing and Configuring the Apache HTTP Server Plug-In
• Parameters for Web Server Plug-Ins
• and also Thread: Installing and Configuring the Apache HTTP Server Plug-In

Install an Webgate on HHTp server incase of Orcle, which will do the reverse proxy and hide the server name.
