fallback rules behaves strange

Hi all

 

 

I have a service (RSS) that I want to configure in primary - backup

 

 

So I configured two pool, the first RSS with the primary server, the second RSS-Backup with the secondary server.

 

 

I used the following rule, but even when the primary sever is active I see a strange behaviour:

 

 

the balancer accept the connection but does not forward to the server, and after a while reset the connection.

 

 

What is wrong ??

 

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { {[active_members RSS] < 1} } {

 

pool "RSS-backup"

 

}

 

}

    Do you have RSS configured as the default pool?

     

     

    You really shouldn't need a rule for this, though: Just add the backup server to the RSS pool and give the primary a higher priority value than the secondary.
