Hello,
I have implemented sticky load balancing with cookies. The problem is that if one of my two servers in the server farm is down (and even if the ace recognizes it as down via a probe) it keeps sending the requests to the server that is down, obviously because it has set a cookie for this server,
Shouldn't the ACE ignore the cookie when the server is down?
Is there a command to ignore cookie stickiness if the server is down? Is there another workaround?
an example of my config is
serverfarm host SF_Ebanking
rserver RS_IAS_1 XXXX
conn-limit max 4000000 min 4000000
probe http_probe_ebanking
inservice
rserver RS_IAS_2 XXXX
conn-limit max 4000000 min 4000000
probe http_probe_ebanking
inservice
sticky http-cookie ACE_COOKIE ebanking_sticky
cookie insert
replicate sticky
serverfarm SF_Ebanking
16 static cookie-value "server01" rserver RS_IAS_1
24 static cookie-value "server02" rserver RS_IAS_2
thanks,
george
