Comment 7 for bug 1446999

I spoke with a colleague that works on WebSphere and he told me that the strengths of the WAS ND product was the clustering aspect. I would highly encourage you to look at the "peer relation" that is often used to cluster services. https://jujucharms.com/docs/stable/authors-relations-in-depth

For an example of how to use the peer charm please look at the tomcat charm or other charms that contain the peer relation.
