Recommended configuration for load balanced Portal with load balancer, multiple gateways and mul

David,

We've used Resonate (software) to load balance the gateways. It allows

you to group all the gateways under 1 virtual URL and load balance the

incoming connections over each gateway depending on the rules that you

define in Resonate. Look in the SUN portal whitepapers there is one that

talks about it specifically.

As far as load balancing the calls to the portals, the gateways will

automatically load balance across all the portals that they know about

using a simple round-robin rotation. You may be able to use Resonate in

front of the portals but you may need to activate persistance within

Resonate to ensure that the user always ends up on the portal that he

established his initial connection on (if you want that), check with Sun

on this one.
