Hi Diane,

the behavior is a little bit weirdo...

When ever you start a TCP-Connection to the Virtual Server the 

default pool
is pre-selected but can be overwrtitten by using the 
[pool]
command.

For OneConnect-enabled HTTP Virtual Servers the last selected 

[pool]
would always stick to the TCP-connection.

For OneConnect-disabled HTTP Virtual Servers the 

default pool
would be automatically reselected on every subsequent HTTP request, but not for 11.5.3 HF2, 12.0.0 and 12.0.0 HF1 (its currently a bug^^).

For further information refer to...
