Clearing connections in RULE_INIT
Is there any way to clear all existing connections on the virtual server in RULE_INIT event?
I'm trying to create a rule that compares client connections to available servers, using a global variable for the connection counting and active_members to get a count of available servers, but I can see that the comparison become accurate if the rule is re-initialized with client connections still active.
I know it's not pretty, and may have other unintended side effects, so I'm open to feedback & alternative suggestions...
thanks!

- Nope, sorry.
Also, RULE_INIT is only evaluated when the rule is initially loaded or subsequently changes.
About all I could think of would be to create a global variable containing something like a generation id. Then on any subsequent traffic, if the client's version of the generation id did not match the global version, you could close the connection.
