you can customise the load balancing on... for example in a cluster of 6 managed
server ms1,ms2,ms3,ms4,ms5,ms6 i want to be able to say this instance of
httpclusterservlet only knows about and round robins betwen ms1 and ms2 and
ignores ms3-6.

aimin for in alsb is  having one domain across 3 regions each having their own
local load balancer balancing to the ms's in their own region).

I think my answer to your previous emails may start a 
discussion...perhaps you need 3 clusters. By creating your own cluster 
servlet, you're messing around with WLS clustering algorithms which may 
not be a good idea.
