how to address a cluster?

[carpeliam]

I've been looking over the BEA Cluster documentation, and nothing seems to be working. I can send requests to any single machine in the cluster, but I can't address the cluster itself.

There's no DNS server for our boxes, so we've been making use of the windows HOSTS file for testing purposes. I tried setting the cluster address to "myserver1:7001,myserver2:7001".... and then tried connecting to "

http://myserver1,myserver2/"

and this doesn't work. There's probably something obvious that I'm missing?

I am not sure which WL server version you are using. I am assuming it to be WL7 and giving here some tips.

- WL recommends the clustered server boxes to be in the same domain (refer

http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/cluster/overview.html#1017775)

- Create two managed servers in two different boxes and make sure their Admin URL to be the same machine where the Admin server will run. Then attache both the managed server to the Cluster server.
- When you deploy the jar/war/ear deploy into the Cluster and not to the Managed server.
- Make sure the Multicast address/port are working fine as WL uses this to synchronise the data. Use the WL's multicast test tool to check this (refer
