Interesting.

 

The ratio might not be exact (depending on the number of incoming connections and luck) but it could work. It ain't pretty though. :) Just don't forget to add "pool" in front of staging_web.

 

  • Have you considered using ratio load balancing method?
  • Or adding the staging web member to the pool with icontrol when you deploy?
  • Or do a "rolling deploy" on one prod server at a time checking for errors that way.
  • Or let the developers set a cookie when accessing the site and send them to the staging pool for testing in production?

Just a few suggestions.
