During performance test of a jboss cluster (no session preserved) we issue some problem with mod_cluster, specially when apache try to access to the jboss instance through ajp
And we don't see where the problem come from (JBoss configuration, mod_cluster configuration, bug).

We don't use Multicast to discover nodes of the cluster
