# Configuring Replication-Based Load Balancing

For both EJB 3.0 and EJB 2.1, to configure how a client's requests are load balanced across the OC4J instances in your cluster when you configure a replication policy (see "Using System Properties").

For more information, see "Replication-Based Load Balancing".

## Using System Properties

In this release, configure the `oracle.j2ee.rmi.loadBalance` system property within each client to specify load balancing in an application cluster. This system property takes one of the following values:

- `client` — The client interacts with the OC4J process that was initially chosen at the first lookup for the entire conversation (Default).

- `context` — The client goes to a new server when a separate context is used (similar to deprecated `dedicated.rmicontext`).

- `lookup` — The client goes to a new (randomly selected) server for every request.
