Hi Nicolas,

 

I assume you are using Priority Group Activation in the pool to achieve the failover/failback (if not, do explain your method). What is the application protocol?

 

If it is HTTP, attaching a OneConnect profile may do what you want without having to reset connections. OneConnect with an HTTP profile means each HTTP request is load balanced individually (using a shared pool of server-side connections) instead of just the initial TCP connection. (Just make sure you aren't also using a persistence profile.)
