add pool member in a disabled state

Hi all,     Is there any way of adding a new pool member to an existing pool in a disabled state, rather than adding it enabled and then disabling it straight away?     Thanks in advance, ...

Sadly in v9 if you disable a node, then you disable ALL the poolmembers on that node. So it would only work for the first poolmember on that node.

 

 

However you could perhaps create a monitor that always marked a member down. Then add the member with that monitor as a member specific monitor. The monitor would immediately mark the member down... However I'm unsure whether the member would be marked down BEFORE any client connections were attempted to be sent to the new member...

 

 

Might require some testing...
