Nimbostratuslb::reselect fails to select another node
I stripped out everything fancy and this still doesn't work. The behavior is peculiar:
rule reselect_test {
when LB_FAILED {
LB::reselect
}
}
poo...
LB::reselect chooses a node based on the LB algorithm for the pool, which may or may not be a "different" server. It reselects only once, but if the server fails to respond, you will loop on the LB_FAILED event endlessly unless you include some count/stop logic in your iRule.
When you say "every other time the connection hangs", that would seem to indicate that one of your pool members is not responding. I don't see that you have any monitoring in place.
I'm not sure why the other node isn't selected on failure, though, since you have default LB method Round Robin configured.
I'd start by applying a monitor to the pool. You should see better behaviour then. If you continue to have difficulty, post back & we can try to help further.
