Mod_cluster only support Apache httpd, there are no plan to support IIS or Iplanet.
The migration from mod_jk to mod_cluster is not very complex. Only very few worker properties can't be mapped to mod_cluster parameters.
Here is the table of worker properties and how to transfer them in the ClusterListener parameters.
| mod_jk worker property | ClusterListener parameter | Remarks | 
|---|---|---|
| host | - | It is read from the <Connector/> Address information | 
| port | - | It is read from the <Connector/> Port information |

| domain | domain | That is not supported in this version | 
| redirect | - | The nodes with loadfactor = 0 are standby nodes they will be used no other nodes are available | 
| socket_timeout | nodeTimeout | Default 10 seconds | 
| socket_keepalive | - | KEEP_ALIVE os is always on in mod_cluster | 
| connection_pool_size | - | The max size is calculated to be AP_MPMQ_MAX_THREADS+1 (max) |

| recovert_time | - | The ClusterListener will tell (via a STATUS message) mod_cluster that the node is up again | 
| activation | - | mod_cluster receives this information via ENABLE/DISABLE/STOP messages |
