GSS & Graceful Site Shutdown

andrew.thomson

We are considering using Global Site Selector to balance web traffic across multiple sites.

However, we use Graceful Server Shutdown (Set service weight to 0 (zero) on our CSS 11150's with ap0610108.

This gives us the ability to shut servers down gradually, while maintaining sticky sessions until they timeout.

We would like to maintain the ability to gracefully close these servers and gradually move the load to the other site(s).

But...

can we ensure that the GSS will honour a DNS request in the middle of a web session to the site that has the sticky server even if it has a weight of 0, while transferring an appropriate number of DNS requests for non-sticky sessions to the other site?

Any suggestions?

I am not too sure if the GSS will honour the request. Please share any information you find on this.
