I have 2 redundant CSS since a while, working fine. Recently I wanted to add load-balancing for the Chat service of LotusNotes Sametime. The problem is that the chat conversations are disconeected some how. On a first configuration, I didn't configure sticky mode on this content. Since then I added sticky mode "srcip" and a long sticky timeout (600 mn or 10 h.). But th eproblem is still the same. Can someone help ? Thank you. note : you'll find attached the configuration for the chat content.

Hi,
The CSS 11500 uses the ArrowPoint Content Aware (ACA) service to gather response time data for every flow for building statistical averages/variances for every service and content rule. The best servers are used, while the slow servers are pruned from the eligible list. This service also can manage persistent connections for e-commerce based on IP addresses (range), Secure Socket Layer (SSL) application IDs, and cookies.
As you are having only 2 servers for load-balance.
As your keepalive time is 30 sec which is quite high.
I suppose you should change your keepalive frequency 30 to
keepalive frequency 5
try this
as
using the default values of a 5-second keepalive frequency interval, a 5-second retry period interval, and maximum of three failures, a service can transition from the alive state to the dead state in 15 seconds; a 5-second interval between a keepalive response and the initial keepalive failure based on the keepalive frequency, and two failures, each occurring at 5-second intervals based on the retry period.

thank you for your update Sachin.
but I have many other services on this CSS, all with a 30 second keepalive frequency.
My question was more about what TCP ports do you suggest to load-balance in order to have LotusNotes "SAMETIME" chat & meeting functionalities to work fine ?
Do I have to use persistence between the different services and how ?
