LB::select forcing to use a subset of a particular pool

That's interesting and a bit unusual in that the servers are specifying at various points one or more servers that the client should be sent to for subsequent requests.

 

 

Is this process always the same (ie, all clients make a request to some start URI and then the initial server sends a list of suggested servers for the next request to be sent to)?

 

 

Does the server list change over the course of the client's session? If so, would you still want LTM to persist the client for all but the initial request? What would you want to happen if the previous server wasn't in the list of suggested servers for the next request?

 

 

Also, out of curiosity, is it an HTTP header or a cookie that the servers insert the data into? If a header, is it a custom client or a standard browser?

 

 

Thanks,
