Dec 16, 2009Hi- thanks for the response.
1) Is the HTTP header consistent for all clients at that instant? Or is the member list specific to that session or request?
No- the HTTP header (with the list of servers) would be dependent on whatever server first took the response. Basically the first request into the farm can go to any server, that server then looks at the URL to determine which subset of servers is best to respond. it redirects to the client which then makes another request back- but this time it should only go to one of the recommended servers
2) What load balancing algorithm are you currently/do you want to use?
i wanted to use the predictive model where it looks at previous response times/connections to determine what server should get the connection. worst case if i need to do round robin then i can just do it within the server code.
3) Does the application require persistence? If so, which persistence method are you currently/do you want to use?
Yes, it does, i use the cookie insert method but can use any of the other ones (except SSL)
thanks
