Configuring weblogic's internal webserver for clustering

Question

Hi
          I have created a weblogic cluster running on 9001. The cluster has 2 managed servers running on 8001 and 8003. I can access the application depolyed on the cluster by using http://localhost:8001/Appname & http://localhost:8003/Appname.
          I was wondering if there is any way to configure weblogic internal webserver to actually use the cluster. I don't want to use external webservers like Apache etc , because I don't have enough memory in my machine.
          I can't see any document describing this in bea website, Can somebody help please?

There is no way you can avoid additional memory usage(unless you have hardware loadbalancer that is configured to route request to the weblogic cluster).
          If you do not want to use other webservers, you can always use HttpClusterServlet as proxy mechanism to cluster.
          All you need to do is create another managed server and host the httpclusterservlet webApp on that managed server.
          (you can host the HttpClusterServlet on admin server itself but its not recommended approach though)
          Look at http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/cluster/setup.html#684345
