Suspend a service during a persistent connection

[asepiacci]

Hello.

I have a CSS with one Content that balances traffic among two servers. All the connections come from just one client.

When I put one service in SUSPEND state the connections are still balanced across the two servers. I think it's because the connections are persistent with a long expiration time but if I configure the Content as "no persistent" nothing changes.

It seems there is no way to suspend a service with such a kind of traffic.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot.

You are correct. When you 'suspend' a service, CSS do not actually allow any new sessions to that server but maintains the existing connections until they wane-off.

You really need to wait for a while to bleed the last session off that server. If you are in a real hurry you can cruelly admin-shut the interface connected to the server.
