Using WebSphere clustering for load balancing

I have two tier system. WebSphere Application Server.

The first tier is called "Web" but is a regular ApplicationServer Cluster. The second tier is called "App" and is a regular ApplicationServer Cluster.

I invoke some EJBs using rmi:iiop: but the distribution of requests in the App isn't even.

I would like to have the effect of a load balancer.

Is that possible? By the way, I don't have weights (other than default == 2), so I don't understand why a certain App server is given most of the requests.

Thank you.

Here you can find a very nice presentation about this issue:

Workload Management (WLM) Overview and Problem Determination

What you see is probably due to "Prefer Local" which sends the request to the server resides on the same hostname.

Usually its a good idea but you can turn it off of course.
