Nov 18, 2010Hi Augusto,
Out of curiosity, why do you want to support clientside keepalives and pipelining, but not on the serverside? Wouldn't you just put more load on LTM for no benefit to the clients?
If you allow pipelined (or keepalive) requests on the clientside but tell/configure the server to only answer one request, I think you'd run into problems that would break the pipelining on the client side.
I wonder if you could use a custom OneConnect profile to limit serverside connection reuse (Maximum Reuse) to 1. I haven't tested this but it might be worth a try.
If you test any option could you let us know what you find?
