Hi,
Environment: 8 application servers are clustered behind a load balancer. Java/J2EE based client-server application
When any one of the servers is supposed to go down, I want to send a message from that server, programmatically, to load balancer something which signifies "server is down or going down, do not forward any client connections to me". This is to avoid any CLOSE_WAITs.
How do I achieve this? How can I send message programmatically from app server to load balancer? From very basic knowledge, SNMP can be used for this. But do not know how to start of. Any other means is also OK.
Thanks
Sunil
