mod_cluster brings a dynamic configuration to mod_proxy. In fact mod_cluster is a replacement of mod_proxy_balancer and it uses some of the new features of httpd-trunk like slotmem.
The improvements to mod_proxy/mod_jk are:
- Dynamic configuration of contexts (no more 404 or 400 when an application is been redeployed).
- Load information received from the node of the cluster.
- Asynchronous cping/cpong via a STATUS message from the cluster.
- Minimal configuration.
