NimbostratusHow to limit traffic to a particular node
Hello,
I have 6 nodes and the requirement is that 5% of the traffic should go node 6 and rest of all the 5 nodes should divide the remaining traffic(95%) equally. Please let me know how to configure it?
Thanks,
Kamat

You'll need to use the ratio loadbalancing mode and assign a weight of 5 to the one node and weights of 19 (95/5) to the others.

screen www02
ratio 19
}'
b node 172.20.1.124 '{
screen www03
ratio 19
}'
b node 172.20.1.125 '{
screen www04
ratio 19
}'
b node 172.20.1.126 '{
screen www05
ratio 19
}'
b node 172.20.1.128 '{
screen www06
ratio 5
}'
b pool www_http_pool '{

Thanks,
Kamat.- dennypayneI wouldn't worry about putting ratios on the nodes themselves, the ratio in the pool member definition is all you need. Looks fine though.
