Abstract
 Load Balancing ArcIMS with an Apache/Tomcat Reverse Proxy Track: System Implementation for GIS Author(s): Victor Conocchioli Load balancing hardware with ArcIMS delivers high-performance map services. This paper discusses the hardware and software requirements to integrate ArcIMS with load balancing hardware, Apache, Tomcat, and Firewall access to ArcSDE. The system architecture provides good throughput as well as security for public ArcIMS Web sites. Apache Reverse Proxy can serve Tomcat and ArcIMS content on the same or other networked server while translating URLs to control access to network infrastructure. RedHat Linux was chosen for the operating environment. ArcIMS deployment and operating procedures were developed for integrating MS Windows and Linux system users. The Minnesota Department of Transportation created an example of this architecture to publish a large volume of spatial basemap data.
