Arrowpoint cookie + stickiness

[casablancag]

Hi i have a question regarding advance balance arrowpoint cookie.

The stickiness works fine unless the server goes down.When the server is dying and the user is making a request to the dying server then the CSS sends a RST but the client tries to reach still the old server. The stickiness is switching over to the next server only if I stop the pending request and I make a new request. Have you a suggestion ???

Here the configuration of the content:

*********

content testcontent

protocol tcp

vip address 194.41.224.138

redundant-index 1000

add service h00bhm

add service h00bhs

arrowpoint-cookie expiration 00:00:30:00

port 80

url "/*"

advanced-balance arrowpoint-cookie

balance aca

active

if you have a persistent connection active when the server dies, the next request from the client is not loadbalanced and still forwarded to the server.

This is the normal behavior.

You can try the command 'no persistent' in the content rule and the command 'persistent reset remap' in global config.

[might be persistence instead of persistent - never know which one is the correct spelling].

Gilles.
