IBM Worklight: publicWorkLightHostname for Active/Active Webservers

Question

Environment:

1. IBM HTTP Server 8.5 - http:81/https:91
2. Liberty Profile 8.5.5.1
3. IBM Worklight 6.2 - http:9081/https:9091

Setup has Load balancer then two IHS[Active/Active] & two Worklight Servers.

Load Balancer routes the request from the client to both IHS in Round Robin.

Each IHS points to both the Worklight servers.

In Worklight.properties,

publicWorkLightHostname=localhost
publicWorkLightProtocol=http
publicWorkLightPort=10080 

What should I fill in each .war file deployment in worklight server. Load Balancer IP, Port & Protocol?

I am confused with the Active/Active Webserver's.

See the following:

• http://ibmmobiletipsntricks.com/2014/05/26/where-do-i-specify-the-hostname-of-my-worklight-server/
• IBM Worklight 6.1 - When are these properties used? publicWorkLightHostname/Protocol/Port

The publicWorkLightHostname, publicWorkLightProtocol, and publicWorkLightPort properties in the worklight.properties file determine:

• Where the Mobile web and desktop browser apps should connect back to.
• How the Worklight Application Center (if used) will form RESTful URLs for its own internal use.

In all cases, these hostnames should point to the externally-resolvable address of the Worklight server (in front of any load-balancers, firewalls, proxies, etc.).
