How to set up a Cluster of Apache on Windows ?

Hi all !
I need to set up an application which has 2 Apache Web Servers in
front of 2 Tomcat application Servers (Java Web Container).
In production we'll have an hardware load-balancer which dispatch
requests in round-robin fashing to Apache.

However in development environment (Windows XP) I have to set up the
Apache cluster without the hardware loadbalancer.

How can I do it ? any article about Apache clustering on Windows ?

On a Linux box I would re-define the DNS configuration.....on windows
I don't have much experience......can anybody give me a help ?

Thanks
Laura

Ciao!

I see.......I'll look for a DNS software.....
anyway there are any special requirements about the 2 apache nodes ?
Should I configure them with different IP but with the SAME port ?
Thanks
