Integration Broker App Server High Availability

Hi all,

This is just a thought for the moment, as there are ways around it, but they are not elegant.  I'd appreciate your thoughts and any experience you've had.  FYI - using PT8.57.

For the application front end, the client conencts to a web server without knowing what app server they are going to connect to (as configured in web server configuration.properties psserver=as1:<port>,as2:<port>).  This provides high availability because the web server works out at the time whether the app server is available and connects appropriately.  This effectively means that app servers can be considered disposable and they can be stopped and started with minimal interruption to work.
