 How can I tell if load-balancing is working between the servers listed in /home/httpd/lonTabs/spare.tab?
    Overload the machine and then try logging in.  You should end up on a
    different machine.
    This might be done (on a server which is not currently in production
    demand) by changing the server load parameter which, when exceeded, will
    trigger the attempt to use an alternate server.
    To change the server load which will trigger load balancing to another
    server adjust the following parameter 
     /etc/httpd/conf/loncapa.conf 
    
    PerlSetVar     lonLoadLim      2.00
    2 is default, could be higher on a busy library server.
    Set it low to test out load balancing.
    (After changing tha loncapa.conf lonLoadLim parameter, you will need to
    restart httpd)
