I need to have the following setup for an application

Apache HTTP Server Tomcat Node A Tomcat Node B

I need to load balance the two tomcat instances in such a way that

-initially all requests should go to nodeA.

-only in case Node A is down, requests should start going to NodeB.

-in no scenario should both nodes be serving the requests at the same time.

I am unable to understand what values should I configure for lbfactor for such a setup.

There is a similar question HTTP Load Balancing - rdirect only if first worker fails using mod_jk but it does not have any answers.

You want to mark the 2nd server a a hot standby with status=+H on the ProxyPass line that defines it inside of a balancer.

It will only be used if all other balancer members are offline.
