I would really like to be able to use this plugin vs isapi_redirect (mod_jk) so that glassfish manages the plugin configuration (loadbalancer.xml) instead of relying on network operations folk to modify and maintain a workers.properties and uri.properties.

I don't know anything about IIS and the plugin...so in case nobody knows
how to make it work or if its is not supported/broken, you can always
fall back to use IIS + Apache mod_jk:
