IBM web server plug-in is not load balancing evenly

Troubleshooting


Problem

IBM web server plug-in appears to not be load balancing correctly. Too much load is going to only one of the members (application servers) in the cluster. Why is this happening?

Symptom

During load testing, you might notice that a lot more work is being handled by only one application server in the cluster. However, the other application servers in the same cluster are much less busy by comparison.
