<p>Load balancer is a virtual worker that does not really communicate with Tomcat workers.
Instead it is responsible for the management of several "real" workers.
The worker is supposed to be a load balancer if it's worker type is <b>lb</b>.
See worker's <b>type</b> directive.
<warn>The workers that are member of load balancer must not appear in the
<b>worker.list</b> directive.</warn>
